Thanks for sharing! Where did you find this? I am fan of Fred’s sister and wondering if it could possibly be by her – many of her works have thought to have been my her brother. Is it just the quality of the image or are there some flaws in the draughtsmanship? I don’t think Fred would have made those errors. Very interesting – do you have a date.
Someone more qualifies than me really needs to do much more research on the Sandys siblings!
I believe it was supposed to be a companion piece to Queen Eleanor and Mary Magdelene. I have only ever seen it attributed to Frederick, but you raise an interesting point. Now I am curious as to how much of her work may have been credited to him.
