| | ArtNotes: Sir John Everett Millais |
 | | One year after Millais' death Tate told the Daily Mail 'Photographs of the building in a forest of scaffolding were submitted to the late Sir John Millais, my deeply regretted friend, shortly before his death, and he endorsed in pencil the two words "Quite satisfied"'. |
 | | Millais stands, larger than life, before a studio stool, holding the two symbols of his profession, a paint brush and an artist's palette. |
 | | On 18 November 1962 the Director of the Tate, Sir Norman Reid, told the Ministry of Works that the presence of Millais in front of the gallery was 'positively harmful' and he proposed that it should be removed from the gardens. |
