Stephen C. Wicks, Barbara W. and Bernard E. Bernstein Curator at KMA, states that he included this drawing in Joseph Delaney: On the Move "in order to underscore Joe’s concern for Beauford and his key role in helping to get Beauford’s belongings back to the U.S. after his death."

By this time, Beauford was living at Sainte-Anne's Hospital. Beauford's biographer, David Leeming
has the following to say about Joseph's visit:Joseph Delaney came to Paris in the summer of 1976 as the family's representative, presumably to take charge of his brother, perhaps even to take him home. Apparently, however, finding that Beauford was without memory but at least comfortable, he decided to leave matters in the hands of Baldwin and the court-appointed trusteeship.
Joseph had visited Beauford in Paris once before, in 1969. He spent three weeks in the City of Light and the brothers enjoyed strolling the streets together. According to Leeming:
They explored the bookstores and galleries, talked of the past and of their work, and went to jazz clubs and the opera.
Joseph returned to Paris in 1979 to attend his brother's funeral.
KMA has included the following sketch of the Louvre that he did during that visit.
