More InformationRelated works: HMF 79(5) - 79(26) are all variations of reclining figure sculptures. LH 778 - 781. Moore experimented with the positioning of the child (or children) both in these drawings and in the plasters, deciding on their final position only when the sculptures were cast in bronze.
