NOTES:
Edward Burne-Jones had been commissioned by Mrs. Whitin, through Christine Barrington, an intermediary, to paint a dancing figure. A letter from Ms. Barrington to Mrs. Whitin (July 29, 1896; typed transcript in the MFA curatorial file) indicates that by mid-1896, work on the commission was proceeding poorly. She wrote: "This picture that he is at now is the figure of 'Hope' (oils of course) 'a girl [I quote from him now] in prison, reaching up one hand, and pulling the blue sky down to her. Flowers are springing up between the stone flags of her cell, and a branch of apple tree is in full blossom in her other hand. Will you let me know if this will be liked, and I will go on with it quickly, and undertake to finish it within the year.' " A letter from Ms. Barrington to Mrs. Whitin (September 9, 1896) confirms her acceptance of his offer for the painting of Hope; correspondence from 1897 between Mrs. Whitin and the artist discusses shipment and payment.
