A gift from the artist to the distinguished British photographer, Roger Mayne. q.v.,  (1929-2014). Inscribed lower right : "A Monsieur Roger Maine.  18.1.1955. G. Bourdin" (see Image 3 below). Guy Bourdin, 1928 - 1991 (q.v.), was the foremost French fashion photographer of the post-War era and worked most notably for Vogue and Harper's Bazaar from 1955. The Artist would have been 27 at the time this was painted (see Image 4 right). Photographer Roger Mayne also at the beginning of his career and a year younger at 26 (Image 4 left).
