Literature
Wendy Baron, Sickert, Paintings and Drawings, Yale University Press, New Haven and London, 2006, p.245, cat.no.135.5
The present work depicts the south door of the church of St Jacques as seen down La Rue Pecquet, Dieppe. Sickert painted this view on at least seven occasions between 1899-1900 and again between 1906-1908. In her literature on the artist Wendy Baron notes that as a rough guide to identifying the earlier and latter versions, one can look to a tree planted to the left hand side of the doors in the intermittent years. The absence of this tree in the present work would suggest an appropriate date of 1899-1900.
