-
A pen and ink drawing of three standing male figures, one with a patch over his eye. Mounted together with RCINs 914502-10. Sandby often repeated and reused figures in his studies. This drawing is possibly a repetition or tracing. The two old men appear in a bodycolour of the North Terrace looking east, in the collection of the Duke of Buccleuch and Queensberry, KT at Drumlanrig Castle, the pendant to which is dated 1778.
Provenance
Probably from a volume of 134 figure studies acquired (£35) at the Paul Sandby estate sale, 1811
