A certificate from the WDAA gallery will be given with the painting This painting of two dancers is one of the rarest representations made at the beginning of the creation of the Western Desert painting movement. This theme was the last to be painted by Tim Leura and was later taken up by Clifford in the late 1990s. Clifford did very few of these in Peter Los's studio. He painted a Tjungarrayi man called Lintipilinti who sings to seduce a woman. He must not go with her because it is a forbidden love due to consanguinity. The painting is signed and dated on the back by the artist.
