Description: The artist's mother, Letitia Bland, was born in Derryquin Castle. Letitia married Henry Stokes, County Surveyor of Kerry, and the Stokes family lived at Askive, close to Derryquin. William Stokes, a Civil Engineer like his father, emigrated to Chicago in 1872 but died soon after. This sketch has been kept in the family; it is now owned by his great-great niece, Charlotte Verity, who is married to Christopher Le Brun, President of the Royal Academy.
