About the work
Pencil sketch created for publication in an illustrated newspaper or magazine, probably 'The Sketch'. It shows the actress, singer, and 'Gaiety Girl', Miss Ethel Haydon standing in the backstage area of the Gaiety Theatre during a production of 'The Shop Girl' in 1896.
It was drawn by Louis Gunnis and has been signed by the artist at the bottom left side of the sketch.
This item is one of several theatrical drawings from a collection of sketches commissioned from contemporary artists to be printed in illustrated magazines. The collection was donated to the museum by Sir William James Ingram in 1914.
