TitleMcCarthy Sketchbook
Date(s)2001
DescriptionA green and orange floral patterned sketchbook filled with rough drawings. The cover depicts a repeating pattern of green and dark orange plants against a light orange backdrop. The book is bound with board and is approximately thirty centimetres tall by twenty two wide. The sketches inside are nearly all male nudes. There are no page numbers.

There is little to say about this sketchbook that has not already been said about the others. It contains McCarthy's usual assortment of nudes along with a few miscellaneous drawings of flowers and furniture.

Number of Sketches: 69
Extent1 item
PhysicalDescriptionCondition: The external condition of the sketchbook is good. As with the previous sketchbooks with floral designs, the spine and both covers show very few signs of wear and tear. The same goes for inside the book; aside from a single page near the middle being in danger of coming loose there doesn't seem to be any significant damage to the sketches.
