For more than fifty years, Michael Leunig gently and brilliantly skewered the absurdities of everyday life. Now, as one of Australia’s most cherished and quietly missed voices, his work feels more luminous than ever.

Providing a political reflection on the journey of Frank Penhalluriack, an Australian businessman and local political figure, this work speaks directly to Leunig's extensive career as a political cartoonist for numerous newspapers. This petite 6 × 4 cm original image is small in scale but full of heart, insight and that unmistakable Leunig spirit. 

For admirers of Leunig and collectors of works on paper, ‘Untitled (If I had a hammer...)’ is a captivating find. This work is provenanced from the Leunig family’s private collection.
