I saw it at the Royal Academy show of his spectacular collection in 2003. It was a huge exhibition, with a lot of Millais (including some lovely landscapes), Burne-Jones and Waterstone, as well as de Morgan pots, a wonderful piano covered with wild roses in gesso-work and a rather poor Picasso. The painting is rather small (about 65 x 70 cm) and was accompanied by a digitized image that allowed viewers to zoom into the almost literally microscopic detail, which was barely visible with the naked eye. I especially remember the tiny figures trapped in a dewdrop on one figure's hat. Lloyd-Webber does indeed own “A Contradiction”.
