Note
Artist's Proof (one of ten). The subject of the child in the brown, hooded coat seems to have occupied Latash between c.1957 and 1963, as there are a number of lithographs featuring this or a similar child with and without ice-cream, in public collections and on the private market.
See version with brown-patterned gloves, 'Child with Eskimo Pie', 1962, Corsini Williams Collection, reproduced in, _Lithography from Leningrad: Eric Estorick's Adventure in Soviet Art_ (Estorick Collection of Modern Italian Art, London, 20 November - 22 December 2019) p. 7. Also, collections at Perm State Museum (23336, without ice-cream and titled 'Eskimo', dated 1957) and Karelia Museum (design featuring this child and another full-length eating ice-cream and dated 1963).
