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.

菲利普-沙逊是丘吉尔的朋友和政治盟友，他是英国最伟大的主持人之一、著名诗人齐格弗里德-沙逊的堂兄，诺埃尔-考沃德曾称赞他是 "永远不会再出现的现象"。沙逊和他的妹妹西比尔是温斯顿和克莱门汀的好友。 正如索姆斯夫人在她的书中所描述的那样，"菲利普-沙逊是一个魅力非凡、卓尔不群的人，他在自己的两处乡间别墅--林普恩港和特伦特公园--盛情款待了一群才华横溢的朋友。 他收藏了大量艺术品。 温斯顿从沙逊那里得到了很多帮助和鼓励，并为他的房子和花园画了很多画。 温斯顿自学绘画的方法之一就是临摹他所欣赏的画作。 菲利普爵士的收藏丰富多样，在这方面也能提供帮助，温斯顿研究并临摹了他朋友的许多画作。 沙逊是约翰-辛格-萨金特的朋友和赞助人，拥有他的许多作品。 1926年，菲利普-沙逊给温斯顿写了这样一封信，信中附带了一份慷慨的礼物和一笔有用的贷款：

我亲爱的温斯顿，

你经常欣赏约翰-路易斯-布朗的那幅挂在特伦特的《双骑兵》，所以我带着我最美好的祝愿把它寄给你，希望你能在查特韦尔为它找个角落。 我还寄去了您要的萨金特的小画。 这幅画是他 18 岁时画的！"

沙逊的慷慨让人印象深刻，从他后来的作品中可以看出他对萨金特的仔细研究是如何影响丘吉尔的。
