| Object history | This drawing is a study related to the figure of a seated solider, holding up a baby in the oil painting ‘Chelsea Pensioners reading the Waterloo Despatch’ (1822) in the Wellington Museum, Apsley House (no.1469). A sketch of the figures of a seated soldier and a woman, perhaps intended as a study for the same oil painting, is in the Department of Prints and Drawings, Dyce Collection no.938. |
