拍品專文

'The small painting you sent a photograph of, was one of quite a series I did at the time - about 1950 - of the same subject, more or less. That is, of blocks of newly quarried stone at Portland (Dorset) lying on, or near, the beach, beside fishermen's huts. They were of all shapes and sizes (the pictures) and some in oil, some in gouache, some pen-and-ink and water-colour. I don't think the one you have was specifically a study for a larger one' (Correspondence from John Piper to the present owner, 22 August 1975).
