I did not like to take it so I bought another picture of him, one of Coquelin cadet and now I have two.

Coquelin gave him his first commission when he was nineteen, two years ago, and then asked him to do two sketches.

After these were done Coquelin told him by letter that he would give him half what they had agreed upon for the big picture for the two sketches and begged the big picture as a gift.

So Rothenstein cut the head and shoulders out of the big one and sent him the arms and legs.

It is the head he cut out that I have.
