HENRY MOORE
Reclining Woman with Yellow Background.

Color lithograph, 1982. 372x470 mm; 14 5/8x18 1/2 inches, full margins. Signed and numbered 15/50 in pencil, lower margin. Printed by Curwen Prints, Ltd., London. Published by Raymond Spencer Company, Ltd. for The Henry Moore Foundation, Much Hadham. A very good impression of this scarce lithograph.

We have only found only one other impression at auction in the past 30 years.

Moore recycled backgrounds from two other artists's lithographic matrices (the light brown and light gray from a print by Derek Mynott and the gray from a print by Janet Marsh) to combine with his figure of a monumental reclining nude in this lithograph. Cramer 656.
