More Information
The mirror image of this drawing is very similar to a reclining figure drawn in 1981 HMF 81(380), which Moore later used as a design for a tapestry TAP 29. This resemblance is not surprising since in 1980 and 1981 he was reviewing his earlier drawings and executing near-copies or revised versions of some of them.
