The dimensions of the picture, measured by Gary himself, are 718 x 718 mm. The artwork has been executed in charcoal on Rives BFK Elephant double weight paper. It has been fixed to prevent smudging.
Gary Brooker holds the artwork in a frame, to show how it would look when mounted on the wall: please note that the frame is not part of the present sale.
We took two photographs of this Grand Hotel original: the first was taken out-of-doors at the Brooker residence on 26 October 2004; the second was taken indoors in Bristol on 8 November, with the addition of items to show the scale of the picture: a yardstick and an apple.
The first attempt rather over-emphasises the slightly yellow tinge of the art paper; the second has a blue tinge reflected from the cloth the picture was propped against. Click on the main images to see them in detail.
