About MeThis ink sketch depicts James McBey's grandmother. It appears to be drawn hastily and it is dated and timed: 5.15pm on 15 October 1914. It is only upon reading an added note in the artist's handwriting - "the last time I saw my grandmother" - that we appreciate the significance of this brief sketch.
