Charity - Study1870 Accession number: 1927P527 Pencil with ink on paper. Width: 49 mm Height: 90 mm InformationThe watercolour of this subject, which is dated 1867, was developed from a cartoon for stained glass, according to the 1939 edition of the Birmingham Catalogue of Drawings, which follows a statement by Charles Fairfax Murray, Burne-Jones's studio assistant. It represents a young woman, wearing red and blue drapery, carrying on either arm a nude child, while four more children cluster around her feet. The finished watercolour was exhibited at the Old Watercolour Society in 1870 and at New Gallery in both 1892-93 and 1898-99. It later passed into the collections of F.S. Ellis and Lord Wantage.
