The dimensions of the picture, measured by Gary himself, are 748 x 842 mm. The artwork has been executed in charcoal on Rives BFK Elephant double weight paper. It has been fixed to prevent smudging.

We took two sets of photographs of the Grand Hotel originals: the first set was taken out of doors at the Brooker residence; the second set was taken indoors in Bristol, with the addition of items to show the scale of the pictures: a yardstick and an apple.

The second set rather over-emphasises the slightly yellow tinge of the art paper; the first set has a blue tinge reflected from the cloth the pictures are propped against. Click on the images to see them in detail.
