TitleMcCarthy Sketchbook
Date(s)2004
DescriptionA grey sketchpad containing a handful of coloured drawings. Its front cover is thin card, its back cover is thick board and both are connected by a metal binding. The sketchpad is approximately thirty centimetres tall by twenty three wide. There are no page numbers. In addition, although the label on the sketchpad claims there are two images, there are actually three drawings inside. The paper inside the sketchpad is also coloured.

The most notable observation regarding this sketchpad is the extremely low number of sketches it contains, the lowest number out of all McCarthy's sketchbooks. All three sketches are coloured to some degree, and all depict male nudes.

Number of Sketches: 3
Extent1 item
PhysicalDescriptionCondition: The sketchpad is in relatively good condition for the simple reason that it doesn't appear to have been used much. There is little external damage, and the few sketches inside the pad do not appear to have sustained any visible damage.
