Lot Essay

The present drawing previously belonged to Elizabeth and James Wyatt, the children of James Wyatt, an art dealer and later Mayor of Oxford. Millais made several pictures of members of the Wyatt family and this watercolour was included in an album which also contained sketches and drawings of the Wyatt family, suggesting that it was probably executed while staying with them in Oxford.
