His figures' hands and feet are naturalistically sculpted, whereas the heads of his couple are decidedly oneiric in quality.⠀ .⠀ 'Small Maquette No. 2 for Reclining Figure' is one of just two maquettes that Moore conceived in preparation for his most celebrated masterpiece: Reclining Figure: Festival, 1951.⠀ .⠀ As a focal point on the newly-built South Bank in London, the monumental sculpture symbolised for many visitors the resilience and inventiveness of the British people in the wake of the Second World War.⠀ .⠀ Henry Moore, O.M., C.H.
