Warhol's simple artwork illustrates a cautionary tale about laziness

The delicate(细致优雅的,娇弱的) drawings of four story book animals are expected to fetch $600 (£355) at auction2 on 9 December.

The US artist, who became famous for his pop art creations including silk screen prints of Marilyn Monroe, was a book illustrator from 1957-61.

At a recent sale of contemporary art, a Warhol print of a series of one dollar bills was sold for $43.8m (£26m).

It was the second highest auction price on record for the work of the artist, who died in 1987.

Hard work fable3

The story illustrations due to go under the hammer come from the Best In Children's Books series published in the 1950s.

The Little Red Hen, which extols4(赞美) the virtues5 of hard work, shows the hen toiling6 in a field while a lazy cat, dog and mouse look on.

Auction house Bloomsbury said the volumes up for sale had "lightly worn dust jackets with some minor7 chips".

Warhol studied commercial art in Pittsburgh before becoming a successful magazine illustrator(插图画家).

He illustrated8 shoe advertisements and was later hired by record label RCA to design sleeves and other promotional materials.

His artistic9 career burgeoned10(迅速发展) in the 1960s and 70s, with his multi-coloured screen prints of well-known people gaining their own notoriety(恶名,臭名昭著).

Warhol is also remembered for coining the phrase "famous for 15 minutes".
