"'Don Roberto': Robert Bontine Cunninghame Graham on Pampa", signed, inscribed and dated 'J Lavery/1901/To R.B. CUNNINGHAME GRAHAM ESQR.' (lower right), oil on canvas. Painted against an unresolved buff-coloured background with a wavering, distant horizon, a bearded man, wearing a wide-brimmed hat and a colourful yellow poncho with red and blue details, sits confidently astride a lean black horse. Tall, dry yellow grasses are sketched around the horse's legs.

He is, I regret to add, an impenitent and unashamed dandy: such boots, such a hat, would have dazzled D’Orsay himself. With that hat he once saluted me in Regent St. when I was walking with my mother. Her interest was instantly kindled; and the following conversation ensued. ‘Who is that?’ ‘Cunninghame Graham.” ‘Nonsense! Cunninghame Graham is one of your Socialists: that man is a gentleman.” This is the punishment of vanity
