Third and final state published in 1929. “It was listed with the title Regent's Park as one of ten recently published new etchings by Sickert in an advertisement placed at the end of a 1930 Leicester Galleries exhibition catalogue (Ethelbert White and Mark Gertler).” (Bromberg 1000, p. 246).
In the foreground of the present etching, some figures are sitting on the grass next to a chair. A dog is running on the right side behind the fence. In the background, partly hidden by the trees, we can spot four of the ten pointed cupolas belonging to Sussex Place, one of the elegant terraced houses around Regent’s Park in London, designed by the eminent British architect John Nash (1752 Lambeth – 1835 Cowes). Today the listed building houses the main campus of the London Business School.
