"Henry Moore's sculptures reflect his affinity for natural forms such as rocks, bones, mountains and the human figure. In Reclining Figure: Hand he simplifies the form of a reclining female figure, allowing her sensuous curves to echo those of landscape. Moore preferred to see his work sited outdoors agains the backdrop of sky and earth, in order to underscore its relationship to nature."
