Well it is obviously a love triangle and not the musical instrument that is the subject of this painting. Note that is a self portrait, probably from 1982, a sad, happy, confusing and prolific period in Tony's life. The Vet has it hanging over his bed. It are 4 pieces of heavy German etching paper put together. The size is probably 220 cm wide to 200 cm high. Quite an impressive size. He liked to paint big, with broad gestures. He depicted the lady in the right hand corner in a harlequin type outfit. Painting on paper required speed and accuracy to make this nice work come together right, which it does. Yet he didn't cope too well with the triangle in life.
