Note
Title derived from penciled note in lower right corner beneath image. Drawing is initialed in lower right corner. Despite the title note's indications as to subject matter, Darley's finished drawing which was based on this study indicates that the scene depicted is act 5, scene 6 of King Henry VI, part III, in which Richard (who is still the Duke of Gloucester at this point) stabs King Henry VI.
Sheet contains one large drawing and three smaller sketches above the large drawing and within its top right corner. Of all four sketches, it is actually one of the smaller ones (top left) which most closely resembles Darley's finished wash drawing in composition.
History: Sketches are studies for an ink wash drawing which was reproduced as a photogravure for the 'Darley Gallery of Shakespearean Illustration' published by Stoddart in New York and Philadelphia, 1884. The 1888 Bryant edition of Shakespeare, published by Amies, also contained the photogravure. FSL has the original wash drawing for which this study was made (ART Box D221 no.41, dated 1885) as well as copies of the resulting photogravure (ART Inv. 448 or ART Vol f80 and PR 2752 1888e Sh.Col.).
Provenance: Drawing is listed as no. 466 in Henkel's Jan. 1909 Sale catalog. For further provenance information see entry under Darley for Darley gallery of Shakespearean illustration.
