Richard Stone, the leading British portrait artist who has painted portraits of the Royal Family, including the Queen,has donated his study of Nelson Mandela to this auction with proceeds of the sale going to CIDA Foundation. Basedin the UK, this foundation supports CIDA City Campus in Lyndhurst, Johannesburg. CIDA City Campus helps toaddress the legacy of apartheid and break the cycle of intergeneration poverty in South Africa by offering low costtertiary education to students, mainly from townships and rural areas all over South Africa, who would otherwise beunable to afford to go to university.

The study was one of the works produced leading up to Madibas nal portrait, which was painted for his 90 th birthdayin 2008. The painting was auctioned by actor Will Smith in London and sold for approximately 400 000. RichardStone donated all proceeds to the 46664 Foundation. In addition to the study, the artist has also donated a signedprint of Mandela, produced from the original portrait for auction with the proceeds going to the Nelson MandelaChildrens Fund.

The artist and Nelson Mandela sitting for the work

The work had been a labour of love as it had been a long held ambition of mine to paint a portrait ofNelson Mandela. When I was invited to his ofce in Johannesburg for sittings in the early spring 2008, I feltit to be a rare and extraordinary privilege, a truly humbling circumstance to be in this great mans presence.The challenge was not only to capture a good likeness, but also full a public expectation to recordsomething of his extraordinary spirit - to get a sense of the essence of the man. It certainly was not easy,time on both our parts was tight. We talked of many of the people we had in common and especially ourmutual friendship with Archbishop Desmond Tutu. Our reminiscences and shared memories brought aboutan easy-going relationship to the sittings. He had a marvellous face with all lifes experience etched upon it;the intelligence in his eyes , the care and compassion, the indomitable spirit and gentleness were all part ofthe man.
