This striking image from Australian artist, Charles Blackman, heralds from the artist's sketch book when he was living in London at the height of his creative output. It is a study that was key to the development of 'Window Light' as well as other, larger paintings from the London period. 

Created in a flurry of creative expression, this superb work illustrates the artist's working process - his use of masking tape to create his strong, unwavering line-work and prolific production of studies, atmospheric in their hurried and liminal quality.

A rare find, this highly collectable work is enshrined with art historical significance. It will illuminate collectors of Blackman and mid-century art.
