...Arthur Balfour died in 1930 and was painted in 1914 (7 years after the oldest living person was born). It's hanging in Trinity College, not the National Gallery. It's really not a culturally significant piece of art.
The painting is actually more recent than I thought, but destroying it is still scummy.
