...drawings; Keating made 80 more-mainly by copying details of Palmers and cobbling them together. The first such "Palmer" was sold to a British museum by Colnaghi's, a major Bond Street dealer, in 1965. In 1969 another "Palmer," titled Sepham Barn, went at auction to the Leger Galleries for ?9,400 ($22,560), a sum that staggered Keating and enabled him and his lover, Jane Kelly, the 23-year-old daughter of a retired British army major, to spend a year in the Canary Islands. Jane Kelly sold four "Palmers" to Leger Galleries, claiming they had been...

Born on Saint-Léger les Feuilles, an island in the Caribbean owned by his aristocratic family, Leger published his first volume of poetry in 1910, four years before joining the French foreign service. Dark-eyed, mustachioed Leger served as secretary of the French embassy in Peking and later as adviser to Foreign Minister Aristide Briand before becoming the highest permanent official at the Quai d'Orsay...
