Titled *The rising gorge*, this 1961 work is a gouache over pencil drawing on white paper, and its record links it to the humorist S. J. Perelman. Sidney Joseph Perelman, born in 1904, became known for sharp, absurdist comic prose in *The New Yorker* and for co-writing Marx Brothers films such as *Monkey Business* and *Horse Feathers*. The record does not describe the drawing's imagery or who made it, so its meaning is best approached through the exaggerated wit and wordplay that ran through Perelman's wider work.
