Entry Hill, Belvedere, Bath

ca. 1917
Not on view
The drawing captures a distant view of Lansdown and Beechen Cliff in Bath. In the right foreground Sickert outlined a cart being pulled by a mule along the Belevedere. Houses line this broad thoroughfare and a cart appears at the far end at the top of a hill. The study relates to a painting which SIckert made in two versions, the larger one, dated ca. 1917, now at Tate Britain.
