Additional information:
The title on the Australian Galleries label on the reverse is correctly Lover in a Gully, rather than ‘Lovers in a Gully’. The subject may well relate to the ancient myth of Persephone: Franz Philipp’s catalogue of Arthur Boyd’s paintings includes no. 17.18, Persephone, 1965, oil on plastic and no. 17.19, Persephone in a landscape, oil on plastic.
