Catalogue Note
This painting belongs to a group of works on paper that Souza produced in the late 1940s. The works are very divergent in style, but have gouache as a common medium, they include works influenced by German Expressionism, French Impressionist works and even the Persian Miniature style. The paintings reveal a period of great experimentation for the artist and provide the building blocks for his own unique style that emerges after his arrival in London in 1949.
