Kress bought the painting. Was Berenson wrong? Perhaps. In later years, even he grudgingly admitted that the painting had been done "in part" by Giorgione.

Despite his obviously observant eye, Miss Dickinson, who visited the subcontinent in 1962, doubts that he has any "serious romances?or any romances...
...London show are augmented by grafted-on photographic blowups, found objects and even entire plaster sculptures. And their subject matter is as apocalyptic as their technique is accomplished. Typical is his self-portrait of the artist at work. Whiteley painted in his head, wreathed in its halo of reddish hair, and showed his left hand drawing at an easel. But the right, black-shirted arm snakes out across the floor to where his twisted, plaster-spattered fingers offer the startled viewer a fresh carnation (the gallery changes it daily...
