Provenance

Acquired directly from the artist circa 1968

Condition

Colour: The colours are fairly accurate although the tonality is warmer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Unexamined out of the frame, there is a minute fly spot beneath the centre of the top edge and a small media accretion to the arm of the right-hand figure. There is a small bump to the canvas in the lower right corner and the top flag collage is lifting at the tips. There is no evidence of any retouching when examined under UV light.
