Page from Rocking Chair Notebook 1947-48. The recto drawing, the study for an Ascher linen (see HMF 2101), relates to the pages of Textile Design Sketchbook 2 and may well date from 1943; the textile is illustrated in Ascher 1987 pp.38-39, 41 and 84-85, see HMF 2149. The rocking chair on the verso later became the subject of a series of small sculptures (LH 274-277).
