The noted artist Lloyd Rees (1895–1988) was a lifelong friend of Daphne Mayo, meeting her as a fellow student at Brisbane’s Central Technical College. He regarded this portrait as the best of the sculptured portraits ever made of him, writing of it: ‘so full of light and the wonderful drawing and form beautifully revealed’.
