A drapery study for the cardinal in Ford Madox Brown's painting 'Chaucer at the Court of Edward III' (New Gallery of South Wales, Sydney). Brown has taken great care in copying the folds of the robe. This is the only part of the drawing which is highly finished and the figures hands and face are only suggested. This most likely means that Brown used a lay figure instead of a real person to model the costume. This would have been cheaper, Brown was very short of money at this point in his career, and would have kept the fabric completely still for Brown to copy.
