The painting depicts three female figures and one male figure wearing a hat. There are illusions made to flowers around the figures., July 1975 - when accessioned the work had paper remnants glued to all sides of the verso of the mount. There was some cracking and paint loss on the left side, l.r. and u.c. The paper was buckled from being glued down. It seems that the paper was glued to the board before the work was executed since the painting goes onto the board on the left and right edges., When accessioned the work was glued to a massonite board which the painting ran on to., Artist file 705/1073
