-
A pen and ink, watercolour and bodycolour drawing of a standing male figure in a blue coat, striped waistcoat and black hat. A.P. Oppé records a title of 'The Grave Digger of St James's Parish 1758'; this is presumably taken from a pen and ink inscription on a former mount, which in turn is taken from a former mount, album page or from the verso of the drawing.
Provenance
Probably from a volume of 134 figure studies acquired (£35) at the Paul Sandby estate sale, 1811 -
