Second Shelter Sketchbook p.64. This sketch resembles HMF 1744, in which the figures appear to be lying on a road rather than on a shelter platform. The form at right was developed into the haunting Figure in a Shelter HMF 1763. An inscription noted in December 2019 may indicate the drawing was made in a warehouse.
