St Theophilus and the Angel - Drapery Study of the Angel1863 – 1867 Accession number: 1904P166 Pencil on cream-toned paper, laid down. Width: 119 mm Height: 375 mm InformationOne of a number of studies in Birmingham's collection for the watercolour entitled 'Theophilus and the Angel'. Two versions of the painting were made, one was destroyed in the second world war (1863), the other (c.1866) was sold at Sotheby's in 2008.This is a particularly fine drapery drawing, in which Burne-Jones appears to have resolved the problem of how drapery falls and moves on a figure.
