This has piqued my interest to see this image. I guess I'll search the
internet not only for the portrait but also the Artist himself. This is a
very interesting piece of history which now you've got me pursuing answers.
Thanks,

BBC Radio 4 recently broadcast a short programme in which antiquarian
book dealer Rick Gekoski told the story of the Sutherland portrait.
The radio programme may be heard (until Friday, 29th January) at this
address:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/iplayer/episode/b00mg3yq/Lost_Stolen_or_Shredded_The_Destroyed_Portrait_of_Winston_Churchill/
From the web site:
"Graham Sutherland's portrait of Winston Churchill, commissioned by
both Houses of Parliament as a tribute to Churchill on the occasion of
his 80th birthday, was destroyed after his death by his wife because
she hated it so much. Photographs taken before its demise show the
Prime Minister hunched with age and dark in mood. A detailed study by
the artist for the destroyed painting still hangs in the National
Portrait Gallery.
"Rick tells the story behind this lost portrait and asks if the rights
of an owner override those of the public, and if the Churchills had
the moral right to destroy it.
"A Pier production for BBC Radio 4. Broadcast on:BBC Radio 4, 3:45pm
Friday 22nd January 2010 Duration: 15 minutes Available until: 4:02pm
Friday 29th January 2010"
