Condition
The canvas is original. The canvas undulates slightly but appears sound. There are some fine lines of cracking to the extreme right edge where the canvas has been stretched with some associated flecks of paint loss around the upper right corner, largely not visible in the present frame. There is minor reticulation towards the lower left corner. There are one or two minor instances of detritus and surface matter, and very light surface dirt. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching. The work is held in a slip with a painted wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.

'It is not the subject that truly interests me, but the many possible ways, and finally the only possible way of expressing it. Setting up canvas and box in all weathers, I seek first to unravel the essential meaning of my subject, which is synonymous with its structure, and to understand my own psychological reactions to it. Next I must decide how best it can be rendered in paint, not by a literal copying of objects but by combinations and juxtapositions of lines, forms, planes, tones, colours etc., such as will have an aesthetic meaning when put on canvas' (Ivon Hitchens, personal memorandum, circa 1954)
