Notes

This work is part of a set of four drawings attributed to Rosa Corder after stained glass windows by Dante Gabriel Rossetti (1904P244). The head of St George is said to have been modelled on Charles Augustus Howell (1840-90), a rather controversial associate of the Pre-Raphaelites.

Corder was an associate and mistress of Howell from 1873, she is considered by many to have been a forger of Rossetti drawings.

Presented by an anonymous donor through the National Art Collections Fund, 1905.
