The Car of Love or Love's Wayfaring - Study of a Man's Head1876 Accession number: 1898P47 Pencil on wove paper. Width: 138 mm Height: 158 mm InformationThis head study was used in the two versions of the 'Car of Love' or 'Love's Wayfaring', both of which are unfinished. A charcoal version (c. 1871) in the Falmouth Art Gallery, a compositional study in pencil (c.1898) and the large oil on canvas both in the V & A (begun 1872). Two full length male nude studies for the 'Car of Love' (both c. 1888) were previously sold by Peter Nahum at the Leicester Galleries, London (both are now in Private Collections), but neither are as fully realised as this head study.
