The artist wrote that ‘The picture was painted in 1958. It took a long time to paint, probably most of the year. Natalie Dower is a painter, we sat for each other alternate hours... The portrait Natalie Dower painted of me was abandoned.’ (Letters of 16 June 1961 and 2 July 1961.)
A later portrait of her, half-length, is in the Castle Museum at Norwich.
