This pencil drawing was purchased by the Tate Gallery as part of the Oppé Collection in 1996. An image is available on the Tate Gallery website. Crowe spent part of his childhood near Boulogne, in northern France, and it was a popular destination for British holidaymakers and those wishing to live more cheaply than in England.
