Two related drawings, the first a finely drawn, finished and signed study of a Winiwayah child seated on the floor and eating from a bowl with a spoon, the second, the preliminary pencil study, from life, for the first, signed and dated '93 and inscribed "Winiwayah child on the Winiwayah lake." The first on sturdy wove paper with a pencil sketch of hunters on skis verso; the second on laid paper folded vertically and horizontally and with a few spots of foxing. The finished drawing was most likely published, but we do not know in which book or journal. |
