Graham Sutherland, O.M.

Executed on wove paper. The lower study has been torn from another page and attached to the sheet. The upper edge is perforated. There are various minor surface scratches and creases to the upper and lower studies. There are some small spots of media staining, although these were probably caused by the artist during the creation of the work. The sheet has been attached by all four edges to the card beneath. The work is presented unframed in a cream mount.
