Sketchbook - Study for Cupid's Hunting Fields1875 Accession number: 1952P5.16 Pencil on paper. Width: 183 mm Height: 255 mm InformationThis initial study is compositionally identical to the watercolour and oil versions (in the Art Institute of Chicago and the Victoria & Albert Museum, respectively). While this subject is an integral part of 'The Passing of Venus', it should be noted that it is as such in only the painted fan (private collection), Design for Tapestry (Metropolitan Museum of Art), Tapestry (Detroit Institute of Arts), and Bodycolour (Tate Gallery). It should be stressed that it is not a part of 'The Passing of Venus' begun in 1875 (oil on panel) now in a private collection (or, as stated in Harrison & Waters' 1973 momgraph on Burne-Jones, [fig. 26], Junior Common Room, Exeter College, Oxford).
