More Information
This series of fifteen seated figures appears to be closely connected with the commission for low-relief sculptures on Senate House, part of London University; see comments on HMF 1418 and 1423.

Given the minimal difference in the size of the sheet of paper on which they were drawn, it seems highly likely that the paper came from the same notebook / sketchpad as HMF 1418 and 1423, for example.
