Best known for his monumental abstract sculpture, Henry Moore also created a compelling body of works on paper, many of which explore the human form with surprising intimacy. Portrait of Two Heads II, executed in 1983, is a rare example of Moore working in a more naturalistic mode. The drawing captures two young girls in close proximity, their features delicately modelled through a nuanced balance of charcoal, conté and chalk. The result is a tender and lifelike portrayal that reveals Moore’s sensitivity to character and emotion, offering a personal and unexpectedly realistic facet of his late artistic practice.
