First of seven drawings HMF 81(195)-81(201) of a Rhinoceros' skull which had been presented to him several years previously. Moore did not find the same engrossing interest in this skull as he found in the elephant ten years earlier. When he had completed the seventh drawing he had the skull removed from his studio.
