<p>This picture was painted in Sir John Gielgud's flat at 7 Upper St Martin's Lane, at the time when he was playing Richard II in Gordon Daviot's <i>Richard of Bordeaux</i> at the New Theatre. The production, after a trial performance at the Arts Theatre in June 1932, began its highly successful run in February 1933 and Gielgud, in his autobiography <i>Early Stages</i>, 1938, p.238, recalls how he could watch from his flat window the crowds queueing for tickets outside the New Theatre.</p>
