Artist's statement:
This work was painted from sketches done from my window in Zurich, Switzerland during a very hot summer in 1958. I overlooked the Storchengasse, a different world with exotic smells and far away from Aberdeen. I was twenty years old. I have lived in Geneva, Switzerland since 1961.
Figure compostion with female figures on a balcony. Two women leaning out of two windows in the background and a child flying a kite.
Pastel colour range.
