A related tempera sketch, The Landing of St. Patrick in Ireland, (22.7 x 22.2 cm) is in Carlisle City Art Gallery collection No. 20 (Gordon Bottomley Bequest, reproduced Waters & Harrison, Burne Jones, 1973, p.181 fig.270). Both this and W211 are apparently studies for a decorative mural for which, following a competition in 1912, Cayley Robinson was awarded a commission by Sir Hugh Lane. The mural was intended to decorate a proposed Gallery of Modern Art in Dublin.
