This work evidently came directly from Vaughan's sketchbook. The drawings are, rather than studies of specific paintings, are examples of Vaughan's process and document how he used sketchboosk to draw out rough initial ideas towards what later became established paintings.

We are grateful to Gerard Hastings and Anthony Hepworth for their assistance in cataloguing the present lot.
