• Notes:
  Prompted after seeing a photo of the subject, Meg, Dunlop recalls in a 1987 letter to the owner of the present work: 'I'm not one for reminiscing, but can recall the place, Ealing, London. I was sharing a room with Keith Looby & Bill Wright & Meg Wynn Owen were living nearby where I painted the picture. we were all very short of money at the time (a state that lasted for quite a few years!). The other painting [the current work] was a study for a large painting in the State Bank in Melbourne which has two figures in it [The Meeting, 1980], & was painted in the Clarence St. studio on the top floor of a building near Wynyard Station where I worked for a few years before coming to Melbourne. The model posed for the large painting in the Queensland Gallery too...'. [personal correspondence]
