Goldie, Charles Frederick 1870-1947 :[Self-portrait of Goldie as a child. Paris? 1898?]

Frontal portrait of Goldie as a small child. He is shown standing, dressed in elaboratey-decorated clothes, and sucking a drink through a straw. The sketch has been clipped out of a letter, probably written from Paris to Grace Hesketh

Most probably drawn in or around 1898 when Goldie was in Paris. Compare three very similar drawings at A-252-010, A-252-011 and A-252-012, two of which form part of letters written from Paris. This letter has an imprint on the edge on the back 'Bellavoine Jeune Paris'
