<p>Ormond House, the artist's home and garden in Richmond, painted during several summers. Miss Elmer, the artist's niece, thinks that he may have partly repainted the picture exhibited in 1933 four years later, when the summer-house seen on the right was built, dating it ‘1937’ at that time; there is no trace of a second picture of this subject.</p>
