More Information

Notebook No.4 p.25. The rapid sketch of a woman's head on the verso may be a portrait of a fellow student, a friend or indeed a sister. The figure is clothed, and the hair-style with its fringe almost touching the eyebrows and the carefully modelled lips distinguish this sketch from Moore's life drawings or drawings connected with his ideas for sculpture.

The rapid sketch of a woman's head maybe the portait of a fellow student or a friend. The figure is clothed, and the hair-style with its fringe almost touching the eyebrows and the carefully modelled lips distinguish this sketch from Moore's life drawings or drawings connected with his ideas for sculptures.
