Antonietta Gonzales
Portrait of Antonietta Gonzales, Lavinia Fontana, circa 1595
The text on the paper reads in translation: ’Don Pietro, a wild man discovered in the Canary Islands, was conveyed to his most serene highness Henry the king of France, and from there came to his Excellency the Duke of Parma. From whom [came] I, Antonietta, and now I can be found nearby at the court of the Lady Isabella Pallavicina, the honorable Marchesa of Soragna.’

Cecil Beaton by Francis Bacon
Cecil Beaton in Group Portrait with Friends, about a portrait Francis Bacon painted of him in 1960; cited by Simon Ofield in his essay
Cecil Beaton: Designs on Francis Bacon (p. 33). A short while after it was finished Bacon destroyed the painting. Ofield writes:
Bacon rang Beaton and explained that he did not want him to have a painting he did not like. Beaton wrote in his diary that evening that
he was sorry the canvas was ‘destroyed and that there is no visible result from all those delightful, interesting and rare mornings’.
