More Information

The fourth in a series of six consecutive drawings on one of Moore's favourite themes. For each of the three poses in HMF 83(47)-83(52) Moore took carbon-line copies and worked these into sectional-line drawings which became the basis for etchings included in the Mother and Child album of 1983.

HMF 83(49) and 83(50) are listed and illustrated in the Tate Gallery 1983 catalogue but were not exhibited.
