Acquired directly from the Artist by The Ivy Restaurant, 2009

Each: Oil on board. The board appears sound. There appears to be a small knock to the panel at the lower right edge. There are several scuffs and scratches across the work, most apparent towards the edges, which reveal the white ground, possibly inkeeping with the artist's working method. There appears to be several very light scratches across the surface of the work, possibly inkeeping with the artist's working method. There is some very light surface dirt and studio detritus across the work. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good condition.
