Michael Leunig was an iconic Australian cartoonist, writer, painter, philosopher and poet, best known for his cartoons published in the Sydney Morning Herald and Age newspapers over 55 years. Spanning the political, cultural and philosophical, his visual world was one of whimsy, wit and a deep humanity.

‘Untitled (Moon Buggy)’ is a rare and original drawing. It is pure charm, depicting a baby in a buggy gazing contently at a crescent moon. Either the moon has been tangled in the buggy’s handle or it is taking the baby for a walk, guiding him across the infinite cosmos.

As special as it is rare, ‘Untitled (Moon Buggy)’ is a jewel for admirers of Leunig, collectors of important works on paper or those with a new life in their midst. It is a lullaby on paper, provenanced from the Leunig family’s private collection and destined to soothe on the darkest of nights.
