More Information

This and HMF 1079 are on two pieces of paper joined together. Both drawings appear to be linked with a proposal that Moore should carve seated figures for the façade of the architect Charles Holden's Senate House building in Malet Street, London. See also HMF 1074 and comment on HMF 1418.
