y finished drawing in water-colour, measuring 184 in. x 24) in.,executed by Gainsborough, apparently some years later, is in the Collectionof Mr. H. J. Pfungst, F.S.A. It answers in subject and description to thisoil painting, after which, no doubt, Gainsborough copied it. As the backof the drawing is pasted all over, apparently to strengthen it, with closelywritten pages, taken out of a carriers account-book, dated 1782, it wouldseem likely that it was given by Gainsborough to Wiltshire, the Bath carrier,possibly in remuneration for delivering some of the painters pictures inLondon. We know from Fulchers Life of Gainsborough (1856) that theartist made such payments to Wiltshire from time to time in satisfaction ofhis carriers accounts.
