This portrait shows Hepworth posing confidently with the tools of her trade. With hammer and chisel in hand she's making a conscious statement of her standing as a sculptor.

'The right is only a motor hand. This holds the hammer. The left hand, the thinking hand, must be relaxed, sensitive. The rhythms of thought pass thorough the fingers and grip of this hand into the stone.'
Barbara Hepworth. A Pictorial Autobiography (1970)

Card size: 125mm x 175mm
