Caricature of John Everett Millais1851 – 1853 Accession number: 1904P437 Pen and brown ink with ink wash on laid writing paper. Width: 111 mm Height: 179 mm InformationThis caricature, along with that of Holman Hunt (1904P436), offers a glimpse of the playful humour of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. Millais is here using one of his favourite expressions for the type of painting he disliked; 'Sir Sloshua' was his derogatory term for Sir Joshua Reynolds, one of the founders and first president of the Royal Academy. The paper on which the caricature is drawn appears to be the same writing paper as 1904P436.
