More Information

No further details recorded. This drawing is dated 1978 but as all the other drawings, (except HMF 79(96g)), in the Animal Notebook are dated 1979, it seems likely that Moore was mistaken when dating it. This may be one of the 'shut-eye' drawings Moore occasionally did to amuse himself'.
