Summary

At the end of the First World War Sickert returned to Dieppe and the years 1919-22 were to be his most productive as a painter. This drawing is inscribed as being in the possession of Stephenson Southport. W H Stephenson was Sickert’s patron who bought a number of paintings and commissioned a series of articles for his own newspaper, the Southport Visitor. Stephenson was the first owner of the painting for which this drawing is a study.
