Drawing in scratchwork on board c.31.5 x 25.5 cm. Scratchwork consists of covering a board with a couple of coatings of gesso and applying black to the surface. A burin or metal tool with a sharp point is used to scratch out the drawing through the black into the white gesso beneath. This takes great skill and Hallward was a master of this medium and as far as I know, the only artist using it at the beginning of the twentieth century.
