Notes | In 1844 Ford Madox Brown unsuccessfully submitted an oil sketch of 'The Ascension' to a competition for an altarpiece for the church of St James, Bermondsey. This is a study for the apostle on the far left, kneeling with his hands raised in prayer. On the other side is a sketch of a child possibly for 'The Spirit of Justice,' a cartoon Brown entered into the third competition to decorate the interior of the newly built Houses of Parliament in 1845.
