Pen and ink drawing by the Irish artist Hugh Thomson depicting a dramatic confrontation with the heroine Evelina, and used in the 1903 Macmillan illustrated edition of Fanny Burney’s 1778 epistolary novel.

Executed on paper and backed onto card (22.5x30.5cm) the image is signed ‘H. Thomson 1903’ and depicts the hot-tempered grandmother Madame Duval storming into the room to confront Evelina for previously disobeying her. Close examination reveals that Thomson reworked the area around Madame Duval’s profile, no doubt changing details of her angry expression. A few brown spots to the image. On the verso is written in another hand: ‘From “Evelina” by Francis Burney - “Her eyes sparkled with fury” and a pencil note ‘p97’.

Hugh Thomson (1860-1920) is best known for his pen-and-ink illustrations of works by authors such as Jane Austen, Charles Dickens, Fanny Burney and J. M. Barrie.

Frances Burney (1752-1840) was an English novelist, diarist and playwright; Evelina was her first and remains her most highly regarded novel.
