Comments
This expertly rendered watercolour sketch of a boy in costume with feathered hat probably shows a participant in the Eton Montem. He may be holding a bag for collecting money in his left hand. However, the artist and subject of this work have not been identified and so this may alternatively be a boy wearing costume for some other reason, perhaps a theatrical performance.
