Caption title.
Original drawing for an illustration for G.K. Chesterton's short story "The man in the passage," from The wisdom of Father Brown; as the story first appeared with Sullivan's illustrations in the Pall Mall magazine, Sept., 1913.
Signed and dated at upper right, "Edmund J. Sullivan. 1913"; inscribed in ink at bottom, "The man in the passage. He stopped indecisively because a sixth figure had suddenly presented itself just inside the doorway--a figure so incongruous in the scene as to be almost comic."
Drawing shows a theatrical dressing room, where a woman costumed as Titania is seated at a mirror; behind her stands a man dressed as Oberon, in a leopard skin and holding a spear; three older men sit or stand in the background as Father Brown enters through a doorway in the background at left.
