Notes
The present lot is the second of three paintings in one of John Meyer's 'sequential narratives' - series of three paintings of moments in the lives of the protagonists that are just seconds apart, like three frames in a movie. These images present us "with strikingly real illusions, all distinctly familiar, yet ultimately invented. They are imagined archetypes rather than specific events ... exploring the complex currents of human relationships".1
