Footnotes

The present work is likely to have been painted by Clausen on a family holiday in either Lincolnshire or on the North Norfolk coast - most probably the latter, as the Clausen family stayed at Brancaster, where there are sand dunes, in 1890.

The drawing in this lot is believed to depict one of Clausen's daughters, most probably the elder, Margaret Mary (Meg, 1883-1946). As the drawing is of one of Clausen's daughters, it is not likely to be a preparatory drawing for a larger work.

Sidney Page (1860-1908), to whom the drawing is inscribed, was the illustrator of Sherlock Holmes. He was eight years younger than Clausen and had trained at the Royal Academy Schools in the early eighties.

We are very grateful to Professor Kenneth McConkey for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
