Punch and Judy Show dated

A watercolour showing a crowd of people in a street, probably in London, in front of a Punch and Judy show. Signed and dated at bottom right: Eckstein 1798.
This is presumably the drawing exhibited by Eckstein at the Royal Academy in 1799 as 'Punch' (no.468). It and another drawing by Eckstein in the Royal Collection (RCIN 913312, depicting a camel) were reproduced as prints by Eckstein in collaboration with C.F. Sadler (see RCINs 812872 and 812873).Provenance
Purchased by George IV when Prince of Wales from Colnaghi & Co. on 16 April 1800 with RCIN 913312 (RA GEO/MAIN/27145, 'Two Drawings by Eckstein of Punch & Dromadary, £8 8s'). -
