On a page torn from a sketchpad, see comment on HMF 1337, Moore recorded some trivial happenings of everyday life: a woman peeling potatoes - almost certainly Irina - sitting in a high-backed Windsor chair which was part of the furniture at Burcroft; another woman - possibly his sister, Mary - sewing; a cane-seated chair with wooden arms, also in Burcroft; a woman on a sofa holding a cat, probably Irina with Slot.
