More Information

Dr. Alan Wilkinson comments that this is 'one of Moore's most Picassoesque drawings', linking it with drawings done by Picasso during the summers of 1927 and 1928. Within Moore's own oeuvre, it can be linked to HMF 858 which itself is connected with Reclining Figure 1933 (LH 134).
