Fish at the Dubai markets
Description
16th page in a sketchbook of 42 pages of pencil drawings, diary entries and artist's notes. Four tuna fish lying on a table at the Dubai markets. Churcher wrote on the page: 'The vendor at the market saw what I was doing and was so taken by it - that he gestured towards his fish and said "Tuna - you draw" - I was in turn so taken with his pride in his stock that I obeyed and drew them - he was pleased with the result.'
