...people who had not been to a gallery a dozen times stood in line and paid to see this painting. Some went because it was the thing to do if they wanted to be au courrant as to the color of the young man's coat; but more went, doubtless, out of a sentimental curiosity to see the painting which had commanded such a breath-taking price and was making its "positively last appearance in England".
