More InformationOn the verso is part of lithographic proof; torso of figure outlined in ballpoint pen with charcoal box
This drawing is related to, but not part of, the Animal Notebook Moore drew for his first grandchild Guston Danowski. When using charcoal, Moore would sometimes rub over the drawing with crumpled tissue paper, thus softening the outline.
