Henry Moore — Reclining Nude
Henry Moore

Reclining Nude

A powerful woodcut by Henry Moore, *Reclining Nude* presents the human figure in Moore's characteristically bold and monumental style, with strong graphic lines that emphasize the organic, sculptural weight of the body. Printed on delicate Japanese teinte paper, the warm, subtle tone of the sheet complements the rich contrasts of the woodcut technique, enhancing the interplay between form and texture. The full margins, with natural deckle edges on two sides, lend the work an elemental, handcrafted quality that reflects Moore's deep connection to natural materials and primal human form.

Medium
Woodcut, on Japanese teinte paper, with full margins (deckle on two sides),
