Rajon was a well-known figure in the London art world who contributed frequently to Hamerton’s The Portfolio. Whistler evidently valued this portrayal highly, as he hung the original drawing on the wall of his Fulham Road studio, where it was seen by visitors in the mid-1880s. The portrait, now held by the Boston Museum of Fine Arts, depicts the artist during a period of professional resurgence following his return from The Fine Art Society’s commissioned trip to Venice.Provenance
