DescriptionThis is a small original concept graphite sketch for "Between a Rock and a Hard Place". At the top is an inscription: P. W. “…Hard Place” There are two punched holes at the right-hand side of the paper that has uneven edges. There is a vertical rectangle at the center of the paper. Inside it there are numbers going clockwise: 8, 2 5 (stacked), 4 1/8, 4 18/32, 3 26 36 (stacked). The sketch around which the numbers are positioned shows a line drawing vaguely suggesting a volcano at the left with a plume of smoke, a human figure with a round torso to the right, and the back half of a cat in profile and the lower right. This sketch, aside from the smoke, is contained within a smaller horizontal rectangle.Provenance
