四年前,我们见到梁宗岱老师的长女梁思薇女士,闲谈间,她提出一个问题,我们在法国参观美术馆时,是否见过法国画家为她父亲画的油画肖像。不知道这是梁老师生前亲自告诉她的,或者从甘少苏《宗岱和我》一书里得知:著名画家哈烈,在沙龙里为宗岱画了一张速写(全身像),后来将它放大成一幅油画,存放在巴黎博物馆里。(送给宗岱的那张速写原稿,不幸毁于 Four years ago, we met Miss Liang Sze-wai, the eldest daughter of Mrs. Liang Zongdai. During her chatting, she asked the question whether we had seen portraits painted by French painters for her father when they visited the art museum in France.

The sketched manuscript sent to Zong Dai was unfortunately destroyed
