• In 1969, he made first sketches and the maquette for the large "Sheep Piece" from 1971/72.

"I'll produce several maquettes, not much bigger than one's hand, certainly small enough to hold in one's hand [..] and you have a complete grasp of their shape from all around the whole time."
Henry Moore, in: Philip James, Henry Moore on Sculpture, London 1966.
"Once I have reached the maquette stage, and I hold the sculpture in my hand, I often decide whether I will make it life-size, even bigger than life-size or smaller, meaning that I determine its actual 'physical' size. “
