No 46 of 80, titled Pl. X lower left, signed in pencil lower right. Plate X from the Sheep Album. Printed by Lacouriére et Frelaut.This etching was executed by the artist from his home in Much Hadham, the artist could see sheep grazing in the fields and these fascinated him.Moore found that printmaking facilitated a departure from his sculptural interests, allowing more freedom to experiment with colour, light and subtleties of tone. His exploration in printmaking techniques can be traced from woodblock prints of 1931.
