Provenance: Margaret Goodwin,
Gill Clarke has suggested
that this wash drawing was probably painted at one of the Royal College
of Art Life Classes. Alternatively the model might be Margaret
Goodwin herself from whose collection this drawing came.
Margaret
Goodwin, a friend and contemporary of Evelyn Dunbar's at the Royal
College of Art, School of
Drawing and Painting, attended the sschool from 1929 to 1933. The two
remained friends. It is recorded that they holidayed together, with
Mrs Gwynne-Jones
(mother of Allan Gwynne-Jones), at Strawberry cottage, possibly around
the time war was declared, and in April 1941, in the Lake District,
with Roger Folley, (Dunbar's future husband) and Glynn (William) Burton.
We are grateful to Gill Clarke for assistance.
