Note:
This work was originally recorded under HP1293 and before that as HP1038. It was first publicly recorded as LS6824 based on regrettably insufficient information available at the time!
The work is most likely the same as sold by Sotheby's Johannesburg on 4th November, 1996 Lot 352 for which no image existed, which was misnamed "Tall figure".
