Not on view
Downman made this drawing shortly after he returned to England from two years in Italy. Graphite and chalks are used to describe Jane, wife of his elder brother Francis. The limited palette, and pose, convey calm restraint, with greatest attention given to the face and broader strokes applied to describe gown and cap.
