Sketches for Judith Series
Artist: Etty, William, RA HRSA · 1787-1849
These three oil sketches relate to the finished painting 'Judith and Holofernes' that was purchased by the RSA in 1829, the year that it was exhibited at the RSA Annual Exhibition. The finished painting remained in the RSA collection until 1910 when it was transferred to the NGS (NG 186).
There is a more fully worked sketch in oil on millboard (30.5 x 40.6cm) dated to c.1822-33, in York Art Gallery [YORAG 72], purchased in 1911
