Provenance
Given by the artist to his son Revd Alexander Frederick Merivale (1814–1841) and inherited by the artist’s granddaughters Maria Sophia Merivale (1853–1928) and Judith Ann Merivale (1860–1945), both of Oxford, in May 1915 (BP169). Its subsequent ownership is unknown, although it was brought into Agnew’s for a valuation in 2002.

Comment
This drawing is a copy of FT631. Cockwood was the retirement home of Merivale’s father-in-law Dr Josph Drury (1750–1834). Revd Alexander Frederick Merivale was the third son of John Herman Merivale, and Louisa Anne Merivale was the eldest daughter.
