Do you suppose we will ever hear the following version of Steven's story?
"He was doing a pastel of a dignified old judge in a long robe and he was having trouble getting his posture and gesture right, and finally he asked the judge (a professional of some stature) if he would pose nude so that he could get the anatomy right. He did, Greene did, and then the robe was painted over the correct anatomy. I suspect that you'd have to be an artist of Greene's stature to pull this off, so to speak..."
