Label TextThis drawing contains all the elements of the painting Miscationary and may be a study for it or a drawing after the final composition. The name of the related painting is a combination of the elements of the picture: Miss (for Miss Julia Sullivan, the model), cat, and dictionary. Sloan delighted in wordplay and admitted to being particularly proud of this title.
