Description	"Picasso did forty-five studies for Guernica. The one illustrated here shows the dying horse and the mother with the dead child. They have been changed in the final painting, although they retain their basic character. The Cubist neck of the horse has a stronger curve in the drawing, and its protruding teeth seem to hang from the mouth. The woman howls in despair as in the painting, but in the drawing she crawls on the ground and the baby flops over like a rag doll. Picasso's spontaneous, dynamic drawing technique is evident in this study, particularly in the horse's mane and the areas of shading. The individualized anguish of the figures in the drawing becomes generalized, and thus - as with the Demoiselles d'Avignon - assumes mythic proportions in the final work." (Excerpt, p.895)
