Architectural drawing and inscriptions (not in artist's hand) on verso.
One of the earliest of Moore's drawings in which the model is posed in a clearly defined space. The cushion on which she sits appears to be on a rug, whose horizontal stripes define the space around her. Behind, two other diagonals - the electric fire and the line of the wall on the model's left - recede towards the vanishing point just above her left shoulder.
