Jonah

Original lithograph by reknowned Scottish author and artist Alasdair Gray. It hangs on our kitchen wall but deserves to be seen more as it is a stunning image. Gray himself believed this is the only surviving lithograph from just four produced and described it as "ugly". It measures 70cm x 50cm and was produced in 1956 as a response to the Soviet invasion of Hungary following the Hungarian Revolution.
