We have found only one other impression at auction in the past 30 years. Moore recycled backgrounds from two other artists’ lithographic matrices (the light brown and light gray from a print by Derek Mynott and the gray from a print by Janet Marsh) to combine with his figure of a monumental reclining nude in this lithograph.
