More Information
This page from an unidentified sketchbook was probably overdrawn at least once.  The central reclining figure on the recto recalls earlier drawings such as HMF 1245 of 1936, whilst the male head upper right bears a relation to the black marble Head (LH 701), carved in 1976 shortly after Moore gave this drawing to the British Museum.
