More InformationWriting in the catalogue of the Wildenstein exhibition, Moore explained 'These drawings were done in Italy (this summer) - just drawing in a little notebook in a relaxed way. Ideas come and go - mother and child, man and woman, a girl reading... sometimes I just feel the desire to draw, no more than that .... in this kind of drawing, one's hand and one's invention can run free'.
The ballpoint pen was added in April 1983. Related work CGM 688
