Henry MOORE - Group of Figures

This original lithograph in colours is hand-signed in pencil by the artist "Moore" at the lower right margin.
It is also inscribed in pencil “H.C.”, hors commerce [out of trade], at the lower left margin. Our impression is one of 15 hors commerce impressions aside from the total edition of 100. There were 65 numbered in Arabic numerals and 35 numbered in Roman numerals.
There were also a ten artist's proofs that were realised aside from the regular edition.
The edition was printed by J. E. Wolfensberger, Zurich and published by the artist in 1975.
The paper bears the blindstamp of the publisher at the lower-left corner and the BFK Rives watermark in the lower left margin.
