About A dilettante, a person in society who knows enough to demand quality from artisans, artists...

The Dilettante Society formed for the 'improvement of the Fine Arts'.

Eton College was founded in 1440 by King Henry VI, renowned as the school of prime ministers, princes and well-to-do business leaders. Many a graduate became members of the Dilettante Society.

?The Society of Dilettanti" soon gained a fine reputation in the world of art.
There was another side to the society however, the use of costume was a feature during the Dilettanti meetings and they often performed mock religious rituals. It is interesting to note that the secretary always dressed as Machiavelli. After their meetings the society celebrated with a feast devoted to the old gods, eating and drinking while discussing the arts. The box containing the ?Minute Book and Dinner-Money? was called ?Bacchus? Tomb?. An entry states: ?That every member of the Society do make a present of his picture in Oil Colours, to be hung where the said society meets."

Cecil Beaton a leading society photographer and authority on fashion and style... was such a Dilettante and became caught in turbulent same-sex affairs with Greta Garbo.

Capture from Brooks Club, London... where the society still meets.

Very interesting background info. Lots of reflections on the portrait which makes me wonder if there's glass over the oil canvas.
PS In Transit, You should go on the salmon fishing trip, it'll be a lot of fun. Thank you for your comment on my picture.
