Catalogue Note
A fine caricature of a recumbent Luis Pinto de Soveral, first Marquis de Soveral, Portuguese diplomat and member of the Marlborough House set, nicknamed "the Blue Monkey" by the Kaiser. On the back of the frame, Robert Pirie has noted, "According to James Lees-Milne, Holy Dread, John Murray, 2001, p. 205, the Marquis of Soveral had an affair with Queen Alexandra known to King George the V who did not object."
