"His works in lithography are amongst the greatest achievements of the craft since its discovery;" A.M. Hind, Keeper of Prints at the British Museum, 1943.

This drawing is a preparatory work for a lithograph. Hugely admired by his contemporaries for his free drawing style and sensitivity to light, after 1900 Belleroche became a leading figure in portrait lithographs. Belleroche exhibited alongside the celebrated Impressionists and associated closely with the leading intellectuals and painters of the day such as Sargent, Toulouse-Lautrec, Zola, Oscar Wilde and Degas.
