The girl in the centre of the drawing is an assistant who collected the money for books sold. Many of the books were school books bought and resold and resold again. The figure to the left was Harry Hall the owner of the shop. The figure to the right is almost certainly a self portrait of the artist in his soft black hat and sharp nose. €6,000-€8,000 (£5,040-£6,720 approx.)
