An etching of a haloed man seated crosslegged beneath a tree, his arms outstretched to his knees; figures with lanterns beyond. Signed and dated at lower left (1922/3?).

Lumsden's 1922 etching The Buddha (London, British Musuem, inv. no. 1949,0411.639) contains many similar motifs to the present print, created for Queen Mary's Dolls' House.Provenance
