Dr Martin’s watercolour, signed (verso), 33cm x 21cm (50cm x 40cm in mount), unframed.

Original artwork for the book ‘A Good Age’, Crown Publishing, 1977. “In 1976 the publishers Mitchell Beazley commissioned me to illustrate A Good Age, Dr Alex Comfort’s primer on how to grow old gracefully. Drawing on a wide range of photographic reference, I produced a number of portraits of well known people who had managed to retain their vigour well into old age. Once again I used Dr Martin’s Watercolours, a brush and liberal amounts of water to create a set of vignettes that could comfortably be integrated with blocks of text.” (Michael Leonard)
