Judith Bronkhurst proposes a date of 1876/78 for this drawing and suggests that it might relate to an unrealised project to paint a scene of an interview between Christ and Nicodemus (St John, Chapter 3). This manner of repeating and re-working lines numerous times is typical of Hunt's small compositional sketches and shows his mind at work.
