Preparatory sketch for a memorial to HRH Prince Albert

Catalogued as by D O Hill, the drawing and in particular the support is more redolent of Hill’s brother-in-law, Sir Joseph Noel Paton being the artist. Vide Perth Museum and Art Gallery which holds a large collection of J.N.Paton sketches including many on this type of blue paper.
