LH 354 Provenance: Either Laing Gallery, Toronto or Marlborough Gallery, Montreal; where purchased by Benjamin Luxenberg Q.C., Toronto; by descent to Leon Root, New York Literature: Alan Bowness, ed., Henry Moore, Complete Sculpture, 1949-54, vol. 2, (Lund Humphries, London), no. 354 (another cast illustrated but incorrectly labelled as no. 355) According to Moore the present work is a 'study for the hands on a larger work, actually of the King and Queen, 1952/53. When I was making the large version of the King and Queen, and getting to working on the hands in detail, I got a little stuck with them, and contrary to any previous practice, I felt I needed to have a model of a real hand. And so I asked my wife to come into the studio and hold her hand in the position I required - she posed for about a quarter of an hour and then said she couldn't stay any longer as the lunch she was cooking needed her attention. I then asked Mary, my daughter who was six years old, to come and hold her hand in the position I wanted, and in this way I was helped in completing the hands of the full-size sculpture.' (Henry Moore, letter to Allan D. Emil, 21 October 1966, reprinted in Alan Wilkinson (ed.), Henry Moore: Writings and Conversations, Aldershot 2002, p.283)
