Victory A Knight Being Crowned With A Laurel Wreath-Sir Francis Dicksee of classic works，appreciate Sir Francis Dicksee painter classic works !

This interesting sketch was almost certainly painted at the Langham Sketching Club, where members were judged on their efforts to represent a subject set at the start of the evening meetings. The subject was usually a single word and many of Dicksee's greatest pictures were conceived at the club, including Harmony (Tate), Chivalry (private collection), Memories (destroyed) and Reverie (Walker Art Gallery, Liverpool). The present sketch probably relates to The End of the Quest (Leighton House Museum), in which a young knight approaches an enthroned maiden.
