Literature
Bruce Laughton, William Coldstream, Yale University Press, London, 2004, p.291, fig.153 (ill.b&w)
Peter T. J. Rumley, William Coldstream Catalogue Raisonné, Bristol, 2018, p.137, cat.no.181

This work was painted in the home of Ian and Ann, on Church Row, Hampstead, where Coldstream had his painting room on the top floor.

All the 'background' elements in the painting are significant: behind Ann and Ian are paintings by Adrian Stokes who was Ann's first husband and who was associated with Coldstream from the days of the Euston Road School. Between the couple is an orange tree, a frequent subject of Coldstream's and which in the context stands as a self-portrait.
