Maquette for Seated Woman

A small-scale preparatory study in bronze, this maquette showcases Henry Moore's signature exploration of the human form through simplified, abstracted volumes. The seated female figure is rendered with smooth, organic curves and subtle hollows, reflecting Moore's interest in the relationship between mass and void. The rich brown patina enhances the sculptural depth, lending warmth and tactile quality to the work's monumental presence despite its intimate scale.
