#LucyCollins

A page of drawings and text. The first drawing shows two women in their night dresses, standing at the top of the stairs. It is night time, and the scene is shown in candle light. The text shows they are talking about a noise the older lady heard, and the fact that she feels woozy and unwell. The butler can't be woken. The young woman offers to investigate. The lower text boxes show a conversation between the young woman and an intruder, who is known to her. She tells him to be quick and quiet. She mentions the sleeping draught she has given the staff. The drawing shows the desk he has been looking through, and is about to tidy before he leaves, having found the document he was looking for. It is shown in the upper text, that the young woman tells the older woman everything is ok and secure, and offers to help her back to bed.

Undercover of the night ... #SnakeAndDagger #LucyCollins #LouisTheFrenchman #ArtYear #art #TraditionalArt

A page of drawings and text. The upper text and drawing sees a maid being told her employer won't be returning as planned by the butler. The next text box sees her discussing a painting theft with The head of her Snake and Dagger cohort. The next drawing shows her unlocking the door to a room, with a shadowy figure representing the thief in the next drawing. At the bottom, we see the painting loaded into a handcart, and covered with a sheet to be removed from the property.
