During her Travelling Scholarship from 1948-49 Eardley was based in Florence in the friendly Pensione Morandi from where she made visits to Assisi, Padua, Forte dei Marmi and Venice. Our painting was exhibited in the show at the School of Art Museum when her drawings were warmly praised by Alice Sturrock for the Glasgow Herald and from where it was acquired. A large if not wholly successful painting of beggars outside the Cathedral was made after her return and Joan felt she had failed in Venice: the weight of who had been before and the historical and architectural profusions she perhaps found oppressive. In this drawing she has typically not chosen to draw the distinctive façade of the Cathedral, or the Square but instead focuses on a black-clad seated woman. 6
