Elephant Skull is an etching from 1969 in Henry Moore’s classic print style. Moore was fascinated by an elephant skull that his friends kept as a sculpture in their garden and they gifted it to him in 1966. The skull was one of his favourite items in his studio and Moore explored its monumental form; this etching is one in a series of elephant skull prints that Moore created of various viewpoints.
Frame measures 50.3 x 37.3 cm.

In the twentieth century, one of the most important and celebrated British artists was Henry Moore. Renowned for his semi-abstract monumental bronzes, these sculptures can be seen all around the world. Usually a reclining figure and more often than not suggested as feminine, his work evokes analogies between the body and the landscape. The materials Moore used for his sculptures were mainly bronze or marble.
