In the Public Bar; Mr Hollingberry's Canary

Painted while the artist was studying at the Royal College of Art. The pub interior is The Hampshire Hog in King Street, Hammersmith. Mr Hollingberry, the landlord, used to hang the canary over the bar to test the quality of the air. Another painting of this subject, from 1963 (31 x 24 in.), is in the collection of Harris Museum and Art Gallery, Preston.
