Henry Moore (1898–1986) — "Two Standing Figures: Man and Woman", 1981
Original lithograph, Edizioni SEAT Rome, 1983 — Limited edition of 3,000
A fully documented original lithograph by Henry Moore — one of the most celebrated British artists of the twentieth century, renowned worldwide for his monumental semi-abstract sculptures and graphic works.
The composition depicts two standing nude figures — male and female — rendered in Moore's signature gestural style: bold ink lines and grey wash creating the sculptural modelling characteristic of his finest figure drawings. The figures face one another in quiet human connection, reflecting the themes of duality and relationship that defined his career.
