This abstract sculpture by Henry Moore is located in a grouping of figurative sculpture in the Hirshhorn Sculpture Garden. The Hirshhorn also owns Moore's "Two-Piece Reclining Figure: Points", a later work.

The following information on Moore is from Wikipedia:

Moore is best known for his abstract monumental bronzes which can be seen in many places around the world as public works of art. The subjects are usually abstractions of the human figure, typically mother-and-child or reclining figures. Apart from a flirtation with family groups in the 1950s, the subject is nearly always a woman. Characteristically, Moore's figures are pierced, or contain hollow places. Many interpret the undulating form of his reclining figures as references to the landscape and hills of Yorkshire where Moore was born.
