Soft-edged fields of warm cream, terracotta and burnt orange are lit by a single block of bright yellow at the upper left, in the spirit of mid-century colour-field painting.

The original typed label on the reverse gives the title "Abstract" and the artist's address in Upper Norwood, London S.E.19, with a lettered telephone exchange (LIV), a style of London number phased out in the mid-1960s, which places the work around the 1950s-60s.

In a slim wood frame. Dimensions (framed): 14.5" W x 18" H.

Condition: Good vintage condition with light age wear. Paper backing on the reverse shows some tears and wear at the edges. Hanging cord in place.
