John’s ambitious religious painting Moses and the Brazen Serpent won the Slade Summer Composition Prize in the artist’s last year there (in 1898). The present work is one of a number of the artist’s studies for the final composition, reflecting his deep admiration for Dutch Old Master drawing, particularly, in the present case, the pen and ink drawings of Rembrandt.
