This very beautiful drawing is a mystery to me and the dealer from whom I purchased it with regard to who drew it and when it was executed. The drawing is clearly by a highly skilled, technically aware and sensitive artist. At a guess the drawing exhibits some of stylistic attributes (i.e. the choice of subject, medium and colour) of the Pre-Raphaelites. I am not proposing that this drawing was made by one of this brotherhood of artists—such an attribution is as likely as finding a Rembrandt in the attic—rather, I wish suggest that the drawing is by a follower/admirer of this group and executed around the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
