Numbered: 33 5.4588 in pencil (bottom right of sheet). Watermark: Hand of Pope with Flower Above. Presented in a new mount. Reference: Ruth Bromberg Walter Sickert Prints: A Catalogue Raisonné. Yale University Press, New Haven, 2000, cat. No. 142 iv/iv. There are burn lines that have been created by the previous old mount. They are wide of the margin and cannot be seen with the new mount – see photo. Otherwise a strong impression in good condition.
The small version of SALLY is based on the preparatory drawing made specifically for transformation into a print. Both the preparatory drawing and an impression of the third state are inscribed ‘Harrington Square’, where Sickert lived for a year after his second marriage in 1911. The third state impression identifies the model as Marie Hayes, a friend from Sickert’s childhood whom he employed for a period from 1911.
