Burne-Jones's dynamic sketch of a naked child who bends to look under a vine while singing or shouting relates to a decorated piano lid that shows Mother Earth (Terra Omniparens) surrounded by vines and twenty-one children. The 1879 commission came from William Graham, a Scottish merchant and politician who presented the piano to his daughter Frances on her twenty-first birthday. In the related painting, naughty putti are characterized as miniature satyrs with pointed forelocks and tiny horns. The child shown here, however, seems instread to embody youthful energy, with wide open eyes and mouth (on the piano lid, Burne-Jones adapted the figure, closed the mouth and hid the eyes behind the vine). Only a few studies survive for this project and this example stands out for its spontaneity.
