Oil on panel, 6¼ × 30½ ins
The central figure of this work relates to a drawing in the Dan Fellows Platt
collection at Princeton. It is possible that the panel was intended as an insert for a piece of furniture for Collinson and Lock for whom Murray worked for a time.
Murray was employed as Burne-Jones’s studio assistant in November 1866, he also
worked for Rossetti, Watts, Ruskin and William Morris. His painting is heavily
indebted to Burne-Jones and Rossetti as well as showing great sympathy to the old
masters.
We are grateful to David Elliott for confirming the attribution of this work.
