content: An abstract acrylic painting by Claude Lawrence, with heavy use of magenta, pink, beige and blue hues. Outlined in black and set against an off-white background, the painting features multiple shades of red at the center, surrounded by deeper magenta-hued shapes above, and a mass of grey to the right. Three linear swaths of blue run along the bottom edge and up along the right-hand side of the painting. The artist has signed the recto in the lower right-hand corner [C Lawrence] in black paint. The verso has an inscription of [PIRAteS] on the right-hand side. Beneath this inscription, there is another inscription which reads, [Do it! Nellie] which is crossed through.
