Housed in its original brown leather travelling case with impressed details “F J MCKENNA R.N”. Some damage to the leather case and a couple of instruments now absent but generally a very good example of a Surgeons kit which would have been used by McKenna on board ship during some of the famous naval actions of WW1. Francis John Louis Philip McKenna was born on 19th August 1871 in Meath, Ireland. He appears as a naval surgeon in the navy list of 1903/04.

Signed with initials, chalk on sanguine paper 30cm x 22cm (11.75in x 8.75in)Note: Burne-Jones began making chalk drawings on coloured paper in the mid 1860s to explore and define the effect of light on the draped figure. At that time he used brown paper but a characteristic of the later 1880s onwards was his preferred use of red paper. The present drawing of the kneeling maiden shielding her eyes dates from c1888. The heavier drapery he chose in this later period produced simpler folds that suited the more solemn mood of his later work and the lines he used to describe the underlying anatomy of his models.As yet the identification of this drawing has proved impossible and it may have been associated with a stained glass commission which was not carried out. Also it was not unusual for Burne-Jones to occupy himself with studies for projects that were not realised, his imagination far outweighed their practicable execution even with a number of studio assistants.We are grateful to The Burne-Jones Catalogue Raisonné Foundation for their assistance in the cataloguing and note for this lot
