Aantekeningen
Aantekening
- The portrait was exhibited at the Royal Academy in 1925. A photograph taken at that time shows a few subtle differences, which may be due to later restoration work as the painting was affected by water and smoke when Howard Carter’s London residence was damaged during the Blitz.
