拍品专文

'Homage to John Montague ... is supported by soft mirror images of ... hands on adjacent canvases, a pleading, groping effect; it is the head above, bent over in thought which commands in that work'.
(Anne Crookshank, private correspondence, 1991).

This work is recorded in the artist's archive as Opus 205.
