Date: 1886

By: Hodgkins, Frances Mary, 1869-1947; Field, Isabel Jane, 1867-1950

Reference: B-082-010

Description: Portraits of Hodgkins' brothers and of her mother's cousin Lydia Bowker (later Lydia Rolin) who visited the family ca 1886. On the reverse (reference no. B-082-010-1) is a sketch of a woman's head in charcoal with Miss Dick written in blue pencil opposite on a part of of the page that was once folded. The date of execution of these sketches was suggested by E. H. McCormick both in his 'Works of Frances Hodgkins in New Zealand' (1954), item 2, and in his 'Portrait of Frances Hodgkins', p. 10-11.The artist would have been around 15 years old. However the two boys appear slightly younger than a date of 1886 would suggest. Bertie was born in 1875, Frank in 1877 making them 11 and 9 in 1886. These boys could be two years younger than that Miss Dick was the principal of Braemar House, the school attended by Frances and Isabel Hodgkins. The drawings were probably done as a school exercise. The drawing of the woman's head on the reverse is probably not a portrait of Miss Dick and it is more likely that is is an imaginary head and that the whole sheet was folded and addressed to Miss Dick. Quantity: 3 drawing(s) on one sheet. Physical Description: Charcoal on grey wove paper, 470 x 340 mm (irregular & previously folded in four)
