The Jumper, stiff with dust, is not a snug fit and
the boy’s face is red-raw with cold or hot with
emotion already passed; neither the eyes nor the
ears are a match and the lips are parted: telling

old’s life. These drawings are unique in British
painting at once universal and a precise record of
a tribe in a place now gone.
