Some Men and a Picture is the only extant known preparatory study for Orpen’s Portrait Group (Homage to Manet), 1909 (Manchester City Art Galleries) remaining in a private collection. It shows the Irish writer, George Moore on the left, with figures on the right who became Philip Wilson Steer, Walter Sickert, DS MacColl, Hugh Lane and Henry Tonks in the final painting. A proposed sequence for the five studies (three in Manchester City Art Galleries and one in the National Gallery of Ireland) is set out in McConkey, 2019, in which the present work is no. 3. The ‘picture’ is of course, Edouard Manet’s celebrated, Eva Gonzalès (National Gallery, London/Hugh Lane Gallery, Dublin).
