Description
Circle of Sir John Everett Millais, PRA,
British 1829-1896-
Studies, of a cockerel, a ballerina, and figures ascending a ladder;
grey wash on paper, bears label with partially-indistinct inscription 'SIR JOHN EVERETT MILLAIS, Bart. / P.R.A. / 1829-1896. / an adolescent drawing: ... Sothebys fully attributed. / : purchased Henry Homan [?]' attached to the backing board, 18.2 x 20.1 cm.
Provenance:
Private Collection, UK.
Note:
The present work exhibits a striking resemblance to Millais' lively works of juvenalia, including his similarly surreal 'theatrical sketches' which sold at Bonhams, London, on 22 September 2015, lot 32. The loosely-handled technique of the present sketch also recalls his 'Portrait studies of George and Effie Millais', which sold at Christie's, London, on 11 July 2017, lot 17, and his study of 'The Artist and his Wife as Queen Victoria and Prince Albert', which sold at Christie's, London, on 28 February 2007, lot 27.
