You have posted a link to a work for sale at an auction house. Perhaps I'm missing part of the context here?

  The part where its a painter painting a painting of his patron?

    Ah, sorry – quite obvious upon inspection! Yes, I will concede that there was a time when this sort of thing was a regular practice and I could have clarified that here I'm speaking about art in the modern context. Perhaps there are artists in the past 100 years who somehow involve their patrons in their work, but this is quite apart from what we witness with this project – the patron, dignifying himself sans-artists or art.
