<p>The artist wrote (<i>loc. cit.</i>) that the picture found no purchaser at the time. ‘Yielding to the general indifference, I put it aside and used it for some time as a drawing board. Baker discovered it serving that humble purpose in 1923, when he was composing his little monograph on my work, and insisted on its resurrection.’</p>
