Notes

The slide shows Waterhouse's 1884 painting Consulting the Oracle. This was part of the Veitch bequest to the RAMM in 1924, but was sold in 1954.

The Veitch copy of the painting is much smaller than the version currently in the Tate Collection, London (donated in 1894 by Sir Henry Tate), and is possibly a preliminary sketch or draft. The two images are very similar, with very minor variations in detail.
