Leighton was commissioned to produce twenty-five full-page designs and fourteen initial letters, thirty-eight of these being used for the two volume limited edition printed in 1880. It has not been possible to relate these studies to any particular illustration, although the baby is most probably Tessa's child.Heightmm430Widthmm284referenceterm-31124adlib-term-31124dd400ee7-f628-37bf-a17e-49f0193228a7black chalkreferenceterm-97946adlib-term-97946388f10ba-526c-32ab-869a-65750eb7faacdrawing1referenceobject-11815adlib-object-11815caea32a8-0723-3a04-983e-8a1d1aa1fc021reference1term-97946adlib-term-97946388f10ba-526c-32ab-869a-65750eb7faacdrawingdrawing1referenceobject-22855adlib-object-2285516bef31a-0cba-3b47-a8ea-8dafd129180d1reference1term-98032adlib-term-9803282c0807b-e8e4-3d5c-ac68-1a6390880feaprintprintreferenceterm-9168adlib-term-91686b0c59e1-73cc-3b5c-8e54-56f42806ba6fBritishreferenceterm-97946adlib-term-97946388f10ba-526c-32ab-869a-65750eb7faacdrawingdrawingblack chalk on blue paperreferenceterm-97946adlib-term-97946388f10ba-526c-32ab-869a-65750eb7faacdrawingSheet of studies for the illustration to George Eliot's novel 'Romola'object
