Three watercolours of similar subjects were exhibited with the International Society, autumn 1914: 131, ‘Dancing Girl’; 132, ‘Dancing Girl Reclining’; and 135, ‘Dancing Girl and her Dresser’. The second of these is probably the work repr. Johnson, 1919, II, pl.15, and Gleadowe, 1924, pl.29 (as executed in 1913): N05217 may have been the third. Another drawing, of ‘Two Ballet Girls’, is listed in Johnson, 1919, II, p.5. A painting of ‘A Ballet Girl Reclining’, from the Claude Johnson Collection, was exhibited at the Leicester Galleries, December 1953 (63; as painted in 1913).
