Editor: Here we have an untitled sketch in graphite by Mary Georgiana Caroline Cecil Filmer. It's giving me a sense of fleeting observation, almost like catching glimpses of figures in a dream. What do you make of it? Curator: It reminds me of flipping through a cherished old journal, each page holding a whisper of a memory. I wonder, what stories did Filmer capture in these fleeting sketches? Perhaps a memory of a walk through a garden? Editor: That's beautiful. It feels less like a formal portrait and more like a personal reflection. Curator: Exactly! It’s as if we're glimpsing into Filmer's own world and memories. Makes you wonder what the verso holds, doesn't it?
