Three children seated in a doorway. Photograph by Joan Eardley<br />

Eardley worked in pastel by preference on fine<br />

glass paper which took <strong>the</strong> pastel beautifully and<br />

lent a slight sparkle to <strong>the</strong> sheet. This bravura<br />

drawing, <strong>the</strong> subject almost certainly Anne<br />

Samson, has all <strong>the</strong> best attributes <strong>of</strong> Eardley’s<br />

drawing; strong, well-chosen colour and<br />

unhesitating mark-making; spontaneous drawing<br />

matching <strong>the</strong> vitality <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> child subject.<br />
