Gervase (left) & Patrick Procktor (right).
Once upon a time in the 1960s: painter Patrick Procktor and friend photographed by Cecil Beaton at Beaton’s home; no wonder David Hockney used to come and visit. Procktor made Gervase Griffiths the subject of his work on more than one occasion, see here and here. Thanks to Little Augury for the picture details.
Update: For more about Procktor, see Patrick Procktor: Art and Life (2010) by Ian Massey.
