Some time later Sylvia wrote to art historian McKibbin, "The shawl in which I was painted was kept in Sargent's studio, & I think he painted quite a number of people in it, but apart from Rose-Marie, his niece, I don't know who they were"
(McKibbin papers quoted in The Later Portraits, Ormond and Kilmurray, p. 228)
