Oil on board. 13x10 cm (5¼x4") visible. Matted and framed, overall 32x27 cm (12¾x10¾").
Preliminary sketch in oil for the painting "in Memory" with a father and infant child beside a new grave, presumably the babe's mother. Arthur Stocks (1846-1889) studied under his father, engraver Lumb Stocks and later at the Royal Academy. His older brother Walter Stocks, was also a well-known painter of landscapes. The work for which this is a sketch was purchased by the Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool.
