Orpen's portrait of Sir Thomas Jaffrey was presented to the Gallery by subscribers in 1920, the year in which he was knighted. Apparently, it was felt that the portrait was not entirely successful and just six years later it was replaced by a larger portrait, also by Orpen (ABDAG004506). Sir Thomas Jaffrey was Chairman of the Art Gallery Committee from 1928-51.
