- In private hands for over 60 years
- Influences from his travels to Japan from 1957 and his closeness to the Gutai group of artists are evident in this work
- The specific Japanese concept of negative space ("Ma") and the painting technique of Hatsuboku (ink splashes) show great parallels to Francis' very own formal language.
