Lot 12. Torso, 1966 (LH 554) illust. and accompanying text. Text discussing the inspiration of the sculpture coming from Moore's extensive process creating Draped Reclining Figure, 1953 (LH 336). "I have to see, of course, the sections in wax before they are cast and when I saw the torso part, separate from the rest, even I, who had done it, was struck by its completeness and impressiveness just as a thing on its own".

Text also includes biographical image of Moore in his studio in 1959 as well as an illustration of an Idol in Paros marble from Syros, Greece.
