Sophia Pappendick, mentioned on the label, would appear to be a descendant of Mrs Papendick, assistant Keeper of the Wardrobe to Queen Charlotte. Mrs Papendick's journal Court and Private Life in the Time of Queen Charlotte, edited and published by a granddaughter Mrs Vernon Delves Broughton in 1887, mentions the drawings of which this is an example.. In referring to evenings spent at home in the 1790's, she wrote, When we wished to fill up the time with music, I sent for Rodgers; otherwise we read, worked, or had a game at cards. It was during these evenings that Lawrence drew those beautiful drawings in burnt paper pencils. (Court and Private Life in the Time of Queen Charlotte, ed. Mrs Vernon Delves Broughton, 1887, vol 11, p.145) We are grateful to Dr Kenneth Garlick and Peter Bower for their assistance in cataloguing this drawing Provenance Eleanor Brewster; by descent to the mother of the present owner (by 1960)
