Notes

The loosey lines of this sketch indicate that it is a very early drawing for the painting 'The Long Engagement' (1902P13). It already contains the basic elements of the composition: a young woman clasping her lover's hand and gazing at the bark of a tree.

Presented by John N Bunney and Miss S E Bunney, 1998.
