| Description | Letter dated 7 February 1882 to Macdonald from G.F. Watts, R.A., Little Holland House, Kensington, regarding despatch of 'little head' when it is dry enough, thanks for praise, 'I dread every kind of praise and recognition that time may possibly not indorse & would during my life greatly prefer being undervalued to being overrated & suspicious of much contemporary praise. I must say the exhibition of my pictures has been received with an amount of favour I could not possibly have expected.' |
