Lytton Strachey, the critic and biographer, and his sister Marjorie, also a writer, were Duncan Grant's cousins; it was through the Strachey family that Grant entered the Bloomsbury circle. These portraits were painted c. 1909 at the Stracheys' home in Belsize Park Gardens. For a note on Lytton Strachey see Lamb, T00118.
