The date has been read as 1909 but the last figure seems to be a seven. The members of the New English Art Club shown are, from left to right, Sickert, W. G. de Glehn, Orpen (below), Augustus John, D. S. MacColl, Steer, Tonks, William Rothenstein (on table), Sargent, Albert Rutherston (under table), L. A. Harrison and Walter Russell. The drawing is a revised version of the one of 1906 in the collection of Sir John Rothenstein (repr. Max Beerbohm, A Book of Caricatures, 1907, pl.14), in which both MacColl and Tonks stand to the left of Steer, following the same curve, instead of framing him, and Roger Fry and Conder appear instead of Sargent and de Glehn respectively.
