Draped Reclining Figure, 1952–53 is a bronze sculpture by Henry Moore.^[1]^[2]

Examples

The sculpture, catalogued as "LH 336", was cast in an edition of four (or "3+1"; one being retained by the artist). The artist's copy was given to the Henry Moore Foundation and is on display in their sculpture garden around his old house at Perry Green, Hertfordshire.^[3] Other copies in the edition are in the Hirshhorn Museum and Sculpture Garden in Washington, D.C.,^[4]^[5] and the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany.^[6]

Origin

The work was a precursor to later draped figures. According to the artist's foundation, it "successfully added the contours of natural forms as well as a distinct hint of classicism to the repose of his figures, yet preserved that sense of immutability conveyed by the Mexican Chacmool figures that had so profoundly influenced the younger artist."^[7]
