Eduard Wiiralt has depicted Claude in several versions, this particularly delicately hatched pencil drawing is dated 13 December 1935. The wood engraving of the same name dates from 1936. The trusting, wide-eyed toddler is the universal image of all the world’s young children, with their needs met and curiously exploring the world.
