Acquired from the above by the present owner, 2007



This work was originally acquired directly from the artist by Sidney Farleigh, who was introduced to Souza in the kitchen of his neighbor and best friend around the late 1950s - early 1960s. Subsequently Farleigh visited Souza's home and studio in Belsize Park, where he recalled seeing his canvases pinned haphazardly to the wall as he did not use an easel at the time. Telling his family about this visit, he noted that he had to be careful to not tread on the open paint tubes discarded on the floor.
