About this work

Description

A painting in Rita Simon's Traditional Massive style, depicting the head and shouldners of a woman in yellow. Rita Simon stated that, "The painter was a... young man, discharged, stabilised. He had great talent for using paint and was very satisfied with it... He did alot of portraits of seductive glamorous, women but it didn't hold."

The title has been taken from notes made during conversations between Rita Simon and Wellcome staff between 1995 and 1997.
