Saskia, 1994 sold Rural life hadn’t changed much"Ambrus is one of those artists I regret not approaching in his lifetime. He showed with a friends gallery in Burford for years and I always thought one day Id get around to contacting him, my loss. This exquisite drawing is a perfect example of his fine artwork, not an illustration just a beautiful drawing of a young dancer in repose." Matthew Hall
