'A turning point'The early watercolour sketches of this painting include Lenkiewicz's design notes. These explain the colour harmonies, method of construction of the perspective and use of the Golden Section, a mathematical ratio known since the Classical Age to give aesthetically pleasing and harmonious qualities to pictures and architecture. The sketches show that Lenkiewicz had meant to place the three chairs in the picture in an unbroken line, a reference to Marcel Duchamp's The Bride Stripped Bare by Her Bachelors, Even (1923), but later altered the composition to heighten visual drama with broken perspective. Rembrandt appears, smiling in a detail from the 1662 Self-Portrait as Zeuxis (the 5th century BC Greek painter). A comparison with the preparatory sketch shows how the finished work made use of one of only two Rembrandt self-portraits in which the artist faces left. X-ray analysis would show how this change seems to have been dictated when the leftmost seated figure, originally a rear view facing away, was later rotated in the composition with a new model to face away from sitter, Celia 'Mouse' Mills, Robert's first wife.The theme of the painting relates to the passing of time and, like Duchamp's work, this painting was long in the making. Mouse has said that she made countless sittings for it over a six year period. Lenkiewicz viewed it as 'a significant turning point piece'.Celia Mills and Robert Lenkiewicz met at St Martin's School of Art in 1961 and married in 1964. Their daughter Alice was born the same year and the family moved to Trevawden Cottage, at Lanreath, Cornwall in 1965, close to Mouse's parents. Lenkiewicz supported the family by working as a teacher at St Anne's Primary School in Gunnislake. In 1966, the couple moved to Plymouth and their son, Wolfe, was born in October.
