Lafond, by the fire, pretends to have no commissions. ‘People are asking after you,’ he wrote to Barthomomé. Degas depicted him around 1878–80 as an art lover alongside another enthusiast in a painting now housed at the Cleveland Museum of Art Paul Lafond would go on to author several art books published by Manzi and Joyant, on Velázquez and Goya.
