Sketch of a statue of a man and child (unfinished) and sketch of the head of a girl, at Lidwells
This sketch is unsigned but likely to have been created by one of John and Margaret Herschels' children.
It shows a seated bearded man holding a baby; it may represent Saint Joseph and the infant Jesus (or alternatively Oedipus and Phorbas).
Below is the sketch of a male head.
Lidwells is in Kent, near Hawkhurst where the Herschels lived in a house called Collingwood between 1840 and 1888.
