Studies of a young man with a girl

Provenance

  • 1950: sold at auction, Christie's, London, 21 April 1950 (lot 140) as 'Studies of a Portrait of Bearded Young Man with a Girl' with Sketches of three heads [M.0654] and Lady seated [M.0655].

Despite the inscription, which suggests the drawing came from Algernon Graves (1845-1922), there is some doubt about the early provenance and authenticity of this drawing.
