Provenance

A gift from Beatrice Leader to Mr & Mrs Basset, Easter 1969

Exhibitions

The Young Mother (1856), which this was a study for, was exhibited:

Royal Academy, 1856, no. 718

Society of Arts, 1856, no. 205

Winter Exhibition, French Gallery, 1890

Literature

Ruth Wood, Benjamin Williams Leader, 1998, Antique Collectors’ Club, Suffolk, p 20 for colour plate 4 of the finished painting

This early sketch, which belonged to Leader's daughter Beatrice, forms the background of Leader's painting at the RA of 1856, The Young Mother. The cottage was probably near to his home in Worcester.
