More Information
Notebook No.3  p.199. drawing possibly done in 1925 Moore and his friend Edna Ginesi (see HMF 0000) met whilst they were both in Italy. He told Wilkinson that Ginesi never posed in the nude for him - 'I made up the body'. The Miss Graham in the verso inscription was probably a model.
