GEORGE ROMNEY (DALTON-IN-FURNESS 1734-1802 KENDAL)
Study of two figures, possibly Hector and Andromache
This drawing is likely to date from the late 1760s to early 1770s. It does not appear to relate to a finished painting, but may well depict Andromache pleading with Hector not to go into battle, a subject Romney seems to have considered, but never developed. We are grateful to Alex Kidson for his help in preparing this catalogue entry.
