It is possible that this work, Sea Woman, 1962, was exhibited under a different title considering its date of execution and subject matter. The Ritchie Hendriks Gallery also hosted another exhibition of thirty-four works by Collins from 24 June to 19 July 1965, while this date would correspond with the gallery label on the reverse of the work, there was no similarly titled piece exhibited at this show. €3,000-€5,000 (£2,610-£4,350 approx.)
