The Long Engagement: study for compositionArthur Hughes
Date: c. 1854 - 59
Materials: Pencil
Both this and another preliminary drawing for 'The Long Engagement' belonged to the Pre-Raphaelite sculptor Alexander Munro, with whom Hughes shared a studio in London from 1852 to 1858.
This sheet is similar the final design, but also echoes the smaller painting 'Amy' in giving prominence to the female figure: the man, already wearing his sober hat, literally emerges from the shadows. |
