专家说明

Alayan was linked to Lawrence's bodyguard but not formally part of it; eavesdropping incognito was his speciality. He made a considerable amount of money from the Arab Revolt and then lost it all by the time he sat for Kennington in Amman in May 1921. The clothes that he wears in the present work were borrowed especially for this portrait.

We are very grateful to Dr Jonathan Black for his assistance in preparing this catalogue entry.
