Last week's blog about two studies for Charles Shannon's decorative painting consisting of three panels elicited a response from Michael Seeney, Oscar Wilde scholar and collector, drawing my attention to yet another study for 'Autumn'. He kindly offered to share an image of this study from his collection.

| Charles Shannon, study for 'Autumn' [Collection of Michael Seeney] |
The drawing is initialled CS on the right below the drawing and titled by Shannon in the bottom left corner.
A woman sits with her knees slightly raised, leaning against a tree or wall (which is not drawn). This could have been one of the drawings sold at auction in 1939. With each drawing we get a little closer to the (unillustrated) original painting.
