Both signature and date are later additions - the difference in handwriting can be seen between this and the signature on HMF 866, which is contemporaneous. In the course of forty-one studies, Moore transforms the pebble into standing and seated forms, half-figures and a kneeling figure. Four of the figures have elements of drapery on the torsos (see comment on HMF 857).
