Lot 16

In good condition overall. There are minor surface spots, all of which could be removed through a surface clean. There are very minor hairline cracks forming in areas of impasto paint, likely formed naturally as it has dried out over time. The frame shows some small marks and scratches but is likely the original frame.
Overall size in frame 88 x 111.5cm

In 1959 Sali Herman travelled through Yirrkala, Arnhem Land, Melville Island and Darwin in the company of Dr. Stuart Scougall, a major Aboriginal Art patron of the Art Gallery of New South Wales. The trip inspired new subjects for Herman including Aboriginal grave-posts.
