Flint’s mastery of classical form and romantic composition is evident in this figure study, which captures the grace and quiet strength of its subject.

This is a genuine, hand-drawn work, framed in London by F.R. (Great Marlborough Street), with the original registration label (Stock No. D 13002) affixed to the verso. A biographical sheet from Mr. Rees accompanies the piece.

Flint’s works are celebrated for their sensuality, technical finesse, and narrative charm. This original drawing, with its layered provenance and visible aging, offers collectors a rare opportunity to own a documented piece that speaks to both scholarly and emotional legacies. See less
