In his lifetime, Stanley Woodward labeled this painting "NFS" (Not For Sale).
For years, Stanley Woodward and Bette Davis enjoyed a friendship and at one point, it was intimate. Bette Davis visited him in the 1930s in Sarasota while he was teaching painting at the Ringling School of Art. Letters reveal Miss Davis was jealous of his other models and one letter stated, "I know you are married and even in spite of that I must write down my feelings for you. Please tear up this confession of my soul as I should not want anyone to read it." There is also in existence a photograph of a partially-dressed Miss Davis from behind, inscribed, "Hope this will bring you to California." Source: Sue Byron, Sarasota Herald Tribune, 11/1/2007
