Bacon, Peggy UNIDENTIFIED SUBJECT.(DONALD RICHB___). Three sheets of portrait sketches and a sheet of descriptive notes about the subject, Charcoal, each signed, one annotated twice with the subject's name. A fourth sheet contains Bacon's notes about the subject, in charcoal and pencil, reading as follows: "Solid,simple, sensible skull with very quiet face like a healthy laborer relaxing with the lunch-pail - steady eyes without fire but with a calm pensiveness like a small night light. Gentle voice without emphasis, no show off. Color warm pink; undissipated face. An expression not of loftiness but of steady honesty - realism & weight. Lokks sober, honest & industrious."14 x 9 3/4 inches (sheets). Small creases tears and losses at the edges, else in very good condition.
