Provenance: Paul Roche

Paul Roche was one of the most significant figures from the latter part of Duncan Grant’s life – a close friend, lover and companion, he travelled widely with him, later writing a book on Grant and dedicating significant energy towards furthering the artist’s reputation following his death in 1978. He was also one of the artist’s most significant muses and models and he sat for Grant on numerous occasions from the late 1940s.
