- Scope and Content:
- Miss Horner requests Redgrave meet her at the National Gallery so that he may "give her a single lesson in watercolour." She writes that she has "copied the picture of Pope Julius [Raphael?] there and would like to show it to Mr Redgrave if he would be so good as to give his advice about it." She would like Redgrave to "recommend one or two pictures for her to choose to copy." She adds "perhaps on Saturday Mr Redgrave [... may] give her a few directions in the colouring." Redgrave has replied on the same letter that he will be able to meet Miss Horner on Saturday. He concedes that the Pope Julius is a difficult painting to copy and that she should have tried just the head, not the entire picture. Redgrave continues his recommendations in small notes in the blank spaces on the front of the letter with suggestions for other works to copy (including Murillo, Rubens) and further advice.
