Gallery LabelHenry Moore's sculptures reflect his affinity for natural forms such as rocks, bones, mountains and the human figure. In Reclining Figure: Hand he simplifies the form of a reclining female figure, allowing her sensuous curves to echo those of a landscape. Moore preferred to see his work sited outdoors against the backdrop of sky and earth, in order to underscore its relationship to nature.
