Catalogue entry

The identification of Hastings is correctly given by Edward Croft-Murray in pencil annotations to a copy of Finberg now in Tate’s Library. There is a more perfunctory view on the verso (D05709) and a similar one on folio 92 of the sketchbook (D05710).

The leaf is stained, and repaired at upper left.
