Notes
According to Wallace, as told to the current owner at her exhibition in 1991, the man in the blue costume was Simon Rapaport, well known wine critic, his wife and daughter in the foreground. The figure in the red Speedo in the background, according to Amanda Botha, is Ben de Kock, the then arts editor of Die Burger who was married to Rapaport's daughter (seated at the table). Rapaport was for many years the chairman of the SA Association of Arts (Western Cape) whose holiday home neighboured Marjorie and her husband Jan's home in Onrus.
