Evelyn De Morgan (1855-1919) Study for the head of an angel for ‘The Red Cross’ Pastel and chalk on brown paper, c.1916 30.1 x 20.6cm; 11¾ x 8in Provenance: The artist's sketchbook; Hartnoll & Eyre, London, 1970 Exhibited: London, Hartnoll & Eyre Ltd, Evelyn De Morgan 1855-1919, February 1970, no.22 The present work is a study for Evelyn De Morgan’s The Red Cross (De Morgan Collection, Barnsley), considered to be one of her most successful works on the theme of war. The painting shows Christ surrounded by a choir of angels, and the sketch offered here is a study for the face of the angel on the lower left. In the final composition De Morgan changed the angel’s hair colour to blond, perhaps to contrast more effectively with Christ’s red robes.The present work stands as a testament to both De Morgan’s exceptional artistic skill and her profound response to the upheavals of war. In the context of her broader body of work, particularly her symbolic exploration of the Boer Wars and later, the First World War, this drawing assumes a pivotal role. It encapsulates the essence of De Morgan's commitment to using art as a powerful medium for social commentary, expressing the emotional and spiritual toll of conflict. As a preparatory study for a larger wartime composition, this drawing serves as a snapshot into the artist's creative process, underscoring her dedication to conveying the human experience amidst the turbulence of war with both technical prowess and heartfelt conviction.We are grateful to Sarah Hardy, Director of the De Morgan Museum, for her assistance cataloguing the present work
