Provenance
Sale; Sotheby's, London, 16 January 1986, lot 12
Private Collection, U.K.

Exhibited
Penzance, Newlyn Art Gallery, Ithell Colquhoun: Retrospective Exhibition of Oil Paintings, 2-27 October 1961, cat.no.21

The present work is undated, however the extensive use of the decalcomania technique indicates that it can be no earlier than early-mid 1940s and stylistically the nearest comparator is The Arrow and the Serpent (1944).

We are grateful to Dr Richard Shillitoe for his assistance in cataloguing this lot.
