Introduction
Surtees guessed that this watercolour might exist but did not know the picture (see Surtees vol. 1, 89). What she did know was the chalk study DGR made for the picture and that he gave to George Boyce.
Production History
The chalk study is signed and dated 6 December 1868, but this is the date that DGR added when he made a gift of the picture to George Boyce. The finished picture has a frame with the title, DGR's name, and the date “Xmas 1860.”
