- History
- WORKS WERE DONATED BY DALTON HAGELL, E. F. HAGELL'S GRANDSON. THIS PARTICULAR WORK WAS ONE OF DALTON HAGELL'S FAVOURITES. HE LIKED THE COMPOSITION THAT LEADS THE VIEWER'S EYE UPWARDS THROUGH THE IMAGE. THE IMAGE HAS BEEN PARTIALLY INKED, AND DISPLAYS THE PROCESS BY WHICH A PEN AND INK DRAWING IS PRODUCED. FOR MORE INFORMATION, SEE PERMANENT RECORD. *UPDATE* IN 2014 COLLECTIONS ASSISTANT JANE EDMUNDSON CONDUCTED A SURVEY OF ART OBJECTS, INCLUDING THE VARIOUS DONATIONS PERTAINING TO EDWARD FREDERICK HAGELL.
