Sketch of unidentified woman sewing.

Description

Possibly a study of Marjorie Dunbar, the younger of Dunbar’s two older sisters by some 7 years. There are some facial similarities. The lightly sketched carpet & the settee against which she is leaning suggest the sitting room at The Cedars, home of the Dunbar family from 1924-1945 in Strood, Rochester, Kent
