Hello, and welcome to Listening to Art. I’m William Denton.

As promised, this issue follows volume eight number eight with another visit to a favourite painting: Marchesa Casati.

Now let’s listen to Marchesa Casati by Augustus John, recorded at the Art Gallery of Ontario, in Toronto, on 19 November 2020.

That was Marchesa Casati by Augustus John. I hope you enjoyed listening to it as much as I did.
