Two mixed media on paper mounted on board artwork by Joseph O'Connor. Both are overlaid on newspapers, one the Telegraph from Jul 11 1961 and the other The Times October 7 1961. Both features studies of cafe scenes, including figures sitting and interacting, reading a newspaper etc. Direct from the artist studio, these works have some losses but are excellent examples of preparatory studies for the artist larger works and very rare to market. Signed verso.
Provenance: Direct from artist's collection
