More Information
The first 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.
