in which he died. It was given to me either by his mother or by his sister. The Mantegnas are a queer contrast with the wall-paper
and the furniture; the contrast must have delighted him greatly. Tragically frail and dying tho' he looks here, my memory
is that he looked hardly less so when I first met him. Max Beerbohm, 1925." Purchase, David Magee, 1961 (MS.1961.015).
