The story of Cinderella was the subject of a series of tiles which Burne-Jones designed for a fireplace at The Hill, the house designed by Philip Webb for the artist Myles Birket Foster in 1864. This drawing relates to a watercolour, which Burne Jones exhibited at the Old Watercolour Society in 1864 and which is now in the Museum of Fine Arts, Boston. Two further pencil studies for the figure of Cinderella are at Birmingham Museum and Art Gallery, both, like this one, bequeathed byJ.R. Holliday, and there is one in the Tate Gallery.
