The Judgment of Clara de Clare. Pen and brown ink, graphite and white gouache on paper, pasted on sheet, from a sketchbook, signed in the center by the artist "Clémentine" and dated 1836. With autograph text by the artist illustrating the scene: "Fixed was her look, and stern her air - Back frome her shoulders streamed her hair - No hand was moved, no word was said - Till thus the Abbot's doom was given - Raising his sightless balls to heaven - Sister, let thy sorrows cease - Sinful brother, part in peace! Marmion, Canto II, Walter Scott". Good condition. Sight: H.: 27.5 cm - W.: 36 cm. Stand: H.: 42 cm - W.: 51 cm. History: inspired by Walter Scott's poem "Marmion", published in 1808, which recounts the battle of Flodden Field in 1513, this scene illustrates a scene from Canto II, when Marmion is tried in the convent, and tells the story of Lord Marmion who, in order to enlarge his estate, wishes to marry Clara de Clare, daughter of the Earl of Gloucester, already promised to Sir Ralph de Wiltron.
