Recto: the general poses of these two figures is found in the central figure group of both 'The Prince Enters the Wood' from the 1870 version of the 'Briar Rose' and the 'Briar Wood' from the 1884 version of the series. In both cases there is considerable modification of the position of the head and that of the left arm of the upper figure. Lower right edge of paper is a small ink or paint stain.
