This drawing is in pencil with pink, grey and yellow washes in watercolour. It appears to have been made from a first floor window and may have been used for a later painting which is now unknown. Russell’s skill as a draftsman is well illustrated in this drawing and it is interesting to see his colour or tonal notes on some of the buildings for reference. This drawing had been in the collection of the Russell family until 1981.
