Drawing created 1967 by Joan Wisdom, in the art therapy studio at Netherne hospital where she was compelled to live.
Her work critiques the psychiatric system which held power over her & this one, as in many of her drawings, features her patient number which was a symbol of dehumanisation to her

Reminds me of so much FANTASTIC outsider art we saw at Lausanne's Collection de l'Art Brut some years ago..
