Lot Essay

This sculpture is one of a few silver casts of works by Moore that were made by Hans Hansen, Kolding, Denmark. Hans Hansen also made silver editions of two other works by Moore, Butterfly, 1981 (LH 702) and Reclining Figure: Wedge Base, 1981 (LH 732). Bronze editions of all three sculptures also exist.
