Born into an affluent and "minor" aristocratic family, Clough eschewed her early years in Belgravia and gravitated towards the grittier life near urban and industrial environs. Clough's maternal aunt was Eileen Gray, a pioneering modernist designer and architect, and likely influenced and encouraged Clough's artistic nature. Her work of the 1950s and early 1960s was representational that morphed into an edgy and somewhat lyrical abstraction in her mature work. Clough was favored by collectors in her lifetime with works in important public collections including Tate Modern, London, Kettle's Yard at the University of Cambridge, and the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York.

Several light scratches to surface of painting; some staining to linen liner.
