Footnote
This watercolour is after a mural by Pierre-Cécile Puvis de Chavannes (1824-98) in the Panthéon, Paris, which he painted between 1874 and 1879. Redpath made this work circa 1919, having seen the mural whilst in the French capital thanks to a travelling scholarship awarded to her by Edinburgh College of Art.
