Summary
This is one of a number of similar designs which Hughes produced while working on April Love (Tate Gallery N02476). The sketch was presented by the artist to his friend the sculptor Alexander Munro (1825-71). Munro is said to have posed for the young man in the picture (letter from Margaret Munro, 20 August 1959, in Tate Gallery files). Hughes shared a studio with Munro at 6 Upper Belgrave Place, London from 1852 to 1858.
