About the work

This drawing by William Maw Egley, along with E.19-1940 and E.20-1940, serves as a preparatory study for his painting 'The Talking Oak.' Exhibited at the British Institution in 1857, this artwork, now housed in the Detroit Institute of Arts, is inspired by Alfred Lord Tennyson's poem of the same name.
