TitleMcCarthy Sketchbook
Date(s)20th Century
DescriptionA beige drawing book filled with coloured and painted sketches. It is bound with card and staples along the spine. It is approximately twenty seven and a half centimetres tall by eighteen and a half wide. Seven of the nine drawings inside the book are of male nudes. There are no page numbers.

Nearly all of the drawings inside P/MCC/2/1 are coloured, either by paint or pastels. The few images that aren't coloured are instead heavily cross-hatched. The drawing book itself also has a number of blank pages near the back.

Number of Sketches: 9
Extent1 item
PhysicalDescriptionCondition: The drawing book is in relatively poor condition, with the card front and back covers being flimsy and slightly creased. The iron staples are also a cause for concern since they show signs of rust. Many of the sketches inside are loose and not attached to the spine, and a number of pages have been torn out.
