‘Bath’ is directly inspired by a black and white photograph taken of Sue Dunkley by a friend during a picnic in Richmond, London in 1972. In this unique work painted in 1974, the artist appears with great poise, sphinx-like, with the back of her husband in the background. This is the only known self-portrait, painted a few months only after her divorce.
