Object history Part of a series of studies made by Alma-Tadema in 1857-1858, while he was living and studying in Antwerp under Professor Louis Jan de Taeye (1822-1890). The drawing relates to a series of Egyptian pictures Alma-Tadema planned in around 1857-8 for 'The Contrary Oracle' and 'Going to the Oracle'. No pictures of these titles are known, but as well as the present drawing, a sketchbook was saved and separate leaves were periodically taken from it, and have appeared on the market. The present drawing was signed and inscribed by the artist’s daughter, Anna Alma-Tadema, and was in the collection of the English poet, author and critic Sir Edmund William Gosse, the artist’s brother-in-law, from whose family it was acquired by the family of a subsequent owner in the 1920's or 1930's. The drawing was then sold by Christie's in 2015, and later by an Art Gallery in London to the present owner.
Inscriptions Inscribed (by the artist’s daughter Anna) with the artist’s initials LAT at the bottom centre right.
