| Description | Letter dated 10 February 1883 to Macdonald from W. Holman Hunt, Draycott Lodge, Fulham, apologising for not replying sooner and acknowledging his canvas, 'I value the compliment you do me in applying to me for my portrait to be added to your collection of painters', the delay was due to his difficulties over a painting which had to be restarted, a Mr. Dunn, pupil to 'the late Mr. Rossetti', offered to do the painting of Holman Hunt while Hunt painted something else, if Macdonald would approve, or Arthur Hughes could do it. |
