More Information

This group of ideas for sculpture includes three sketches incorporated in HMF 1383: the small sketch inscribed New kind of plant appears in the background and the two forms lower left reappear as the main subjects on the left-hand side, although the one to the right of the word Terracotta has been turned through 180 degrees. See comment on HMF 1337.
