The occasion was a viewing of the painting Diana and Actaeon by Titian (unseen, off to the left) at the National Gallery in London, with the aim of raising funds to buy the painting for the gallery. I can't help but have photo captions pop into my head along the lines of "Who didn't get the memo about wearing black..." or "This is artists dressing up for a press event?"
