He is also painted the cover for &#8216;Catherine and Arnaud&#8217; as in this photo I took in his studio. I&#8217;m not sure who painted the later edition of &#8216;Belle Catherine&#8217; but it looks like it could be John Raynes?<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-medium is-resized\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SAM_4892-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SAM_4892-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-9746\" width=\"566\" height=\"425\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SAM_4892-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SAM_4892-1024x768.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SAM_4892-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SAM_4892-1536x1152.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.tikit.net\/panfans\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/01\/SAM_4892-2048x1536.jpg 2048w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 566px) 100vw, 566px\" \/><\/a><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Denys Parsons collected together items from papers of mistakes, misquotes and double entendres.
