Churchill counted as both a friend and political ally, Phillip Sassoon – one of Britain's great hosts, cousin of famed poet Siegfried Sassoon, and the man upon whom Noël Coward crowned "a phenomenon that will never recur”. Sassoon and his sister Sybil were among Winston and Clementine’s great friends.  As described by Lady Soames in her book, “Philip Sassoon was a man of charm and distinction, and he dispensed princely hospitality to a brilliant and varied circle of friends at his two country houses, Port Lympne and Trent Park.  He made a remarkable collection of works of art.  Winston received much help and encouragement from Sassoon, and painted many pictures of both his house and gardens.  One of the ways in which Winston taught himself to paint was by copying pictures he admired.  With his large and varied collection, Sir Philip was able to be of help in this way, too, and Winston studied and copied quite a number of his friend’s pictures.  Sassoon was a friend and patron of John Singer Sargent, and owned many of his works.  Winston admired several of these, and found them highly instructive; in 1926, [less than two years before this painting was created] Philip Sassoon wrote Winston this note, which accompanied a generous present and a helpful loan:<br><br>My dear Winston,<br><br>You have often admired the picture of John Lewis Brown of the two horsemen that hung at Trent, so I am sending it to you with my best wishes in the hope that you find a corner for it at Chartwell.  I am also sending th little Sargent picture wh you asked for.  He painted it when he was 18!”<br><br>One is struck by Sassoon’s generosity, and can see in later works how his close study of Sargent influenced Churchill.

كان تشرشل صديقا وحليفا سياسيا ، فيليب ساسون - أحد أعظم مضيفي بريطانيا ، وابن عم الشاعر الشهير سيغفريد ساسون ، والرجل الذي توج عليه نويل كوارد "ظاهرة لن تتكرر أبدا". كان ساسون وأخته سيبيل من بين أصدقاء ونستون وكليمنتين العظماء. كما وصفته السيدة سوامز في كتابها ، "كان فيليب ساسون رجلا يتمتع بالسحر والتميز ، وقد وزع الضيافة الأميرية على دائرة رائعة ومتنوعة من الأصدقاء في منزليه الريفي ، بورت ليمبن وترينت بارك. قدم مجموعة رائعة من الأعمال الفنية. تلقى ونستون الكثير من المساعدة والتشجيع من ساسون ، ورسم العديد من الصور لكل من منزله وحدائقه. كانت إحدى الطرق التي علم بها ونستون نفسه الرسم هي نسخ الصور التي أعجب بها. بفضل مجموعته الكبيرة والمتنوعة ، تمكن السير فيليب من تقديم المساعدة بهذه الطريقة أيضا ، ودرس ونستون ونسخ عددا كبيرا من صور صديقه. كان ساسون صديقا وراعيا لجون سينجر سارجنت ، وامتلك العديد من أعماله. أعجب ونستون بالعديد من هؤلاء ، ووجدهم مفيدين للغاية. في عام 1926 ، [قبل أقل من عامين من إنشاء هذه اللوحة] كتب فيليب ساسون ونستون هذه الملاحظة ، التي رافقت هدية سخية وقرض مفيد:

عزيزي ونستون ،

لقد أعجبت كثيرا بصورة جون لويس براون للفارسين المعلقين في ترينت ، لذلك أرسلها إليك مع أطيب تمنياتي على أمل أن تجد ركنا لها في تشارتويل. أنا أيضا أرسل صورة سارجنت الصغيرة التي طلبتها. لقد رسمها عندما كان عمره 18 عاما!

يذهل المرء من كرم ساسون ، ويمكنه أن يرى في أعمال لاحقة كيف أثرت دراسته الوثيقة لسارجنت على تشرشل.
