'In his final years, Moore as a sculptor was preoccupied with the mother and child relationship, more than any other, and it led him to a series of sculptural statements that vary considerably and show more invention and innovation than do the reclining figures of this period.
'Obviously the notion of shelter and containment is at the heart of the mother and child sculptures. In the Draped Reclining Mother and Baby (1983; Hoam Museum of Art, Seoul; Biltmore Commerce Center, Phoenix, and others), the mother's body is extended like a range of hills, into the hollows of which the child can shelter' (see A. Bowness, op. cit., p. 7).
