Branwell Brontë 'Our Lady of Greif'
Another striking feature of the Brotherton's Branwell collection is the corpus of his pen and ink drawings, which he certainly had a talent for.
Some sketches reveal his wit; others the temperamental, even violent side of his nature while many dwell in his gloom.
There is lugubrious humour in his little drawing of an old tombstone leaning dangerously into the ground and with only one word visible -- 'Resurgam' -- and a sense of a far more deeply troubled mind in the sketch of a strong man, chained, solemnly entitled 'Myself'.
