A printed note by Prosper Devas attached to the back of this painting sheds light on the artist’s ingenious use of paint: “self-portrait by Norman Hepple, my godfather. Painted using only Burnt Sienna and Ivory Black.” Prosper Devas was the son of the painter Anthony Devas who was a close friend of Hepple.
