Pencil, 11 × 8 ins
This is probably a portrait of Fraunces Christie, Cadogan Cowper painted Fraunces,
Beatrice, James and Synfye, Children of James Christie esq in 1919 (RA 1920 no.592).
The features of the sitter in the present study resemble the eldest girl in the portrait group. Cadogan Cowper is often referred to as ‘the last Pre-Raphaelite’ and like Ernest Board belonged to the group of painters known as the Neo-Pre-Raphaelites.
