John Brack painted Kym Bonython on commission in 1963. When the work was completed, Bonython asked the artist to alter it to show him wearing his racing cap. Brack protested that it would upset the balance of the painting, and instead suggested a separate canvas depicting the cap. The two paintings are now considered to be a single work, but this poster is of just the image of the cap.
