Footnotes
PROVENANCE
The Gene & Brian Sherman Collection, Sydney, a gift from the artist
artist's text on sheet attached verso which states:
Portraiture, Priviledge and immortality
The power of art to uphold priviledge or at least a sense of it came from the description of Blevignes portrait by Bordurin who had surrounded the figure of Blevigne who was only 5 feet tall with "objects which ran no risk of diminishing him."
"The Power of Art is truly admirable". Blevigne was immortal.
