This drawing is a study for a finished oil that was exhibited in the Lloyd Webber Collection, Pre-Raphaelite and Other Masters, Royal Academy, London, 2003, no. 50. The portrait of Amy Gaskell is one of the artist's most haunting, reflecting the enigma of a youth that is no longer a girl, but not yet a woman. Amy was the daughter of one of his dearest friends, May Gaskell whose relationship with Burne-Jones has been recently explored in Josceline Dimbleby's A Profound Secret, London, 2004.
