Watercolour. Annotated with a note, initialled 'E.C.’, which explains 'this corrobery [sic] has no business here as it is never danced in the daytime’. However in 1995, from stylistic evidence, Sally Grey attributed the painting to Close’s sister-in-law Sophia Campbell, with only the annotation being his.
