Untitled
1970

A hand-drawn sketch on aged paper featuring a whimsical creature with a large, coral-like body in shades of pink and orange. The creature has human-like arms and hands in blue outline, with one hand holding a lemon slice and another squeezing juice from it. There are handwritten notes and questions in blue ink around the drawing, and the date "Sept 23 '70" is written at the bottom right corner.
