Yeats, who provided the introduction, and the artist William Rothenstein, to whom the work is dedicated, Tagore became the first non-European to be awarded the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1913.This copy was exhibited in the National Portrait Gallery's "Writers Revealed" exhibition in Shanghai and Busan, March-July 2026.
