Sir Leslie Stephen NPG 2098

© National Portrait Gallery, London

by William Rothenstein

Rothenstein recalled drawing Stephen, at his home in 22 Hyde Park Gate, with reverence: 'I felt awed in his presence…I was engaged on an almost sacred task'. Leslie Stephen's daughters both wrote about the sketch. Virginia Woolf felt it made her father seem 'more worn and sad than I remembered' but Vanessa Bell commended it as being 'more like my father than anything else that has been done of him'.
