This is not such a finished head as NPG 4053(1), which was drawn a few days later. See NPG 4053(2) for Scharf’s account of this exercise in self-portraiture.
NPG 4053(3) is part of the collection NPG 4053(1–19), ‘Drawings by Sir George Scharf, circa 1867–87’. See NPG 4053(1) for acquisition details.
