More Information

This essentially naturalistic representation of the body (likely to be Irina) seems at odds with the stylised drawing of the head. It is interesting to compare this head with those in HMF 698 and 699 where Moore has already begun the process of stylisation. The head here, with the two jutting projections of hair, is remarkably close to Mask 1929 (LH 62).
