More Information

Clark (1974, p.46) describes this as 'a drawing done in Paris when the work on the North (sic) Wind was over shows the flying figure let out of school with a shout of joy.' The drawing can be related to several sketches in Sketchbook 1928: West Wind Relief  HMF 611-643. Clark gives no reason for saying that the drawing was done in Paris.
