HENRY Moore's monumental bronze sculpture Reclining Woman: Elbow has returned to its home in Leeds.

The famous sculpture is now outside Leeds Art Gallery on The Headrow, after travelling to the Netherlands and Hertfordshire.

The work was personally chosen by Moore to go on display on the external plinth at Leeds Art Gallery in 1982 as part of the sculpture gallery extension project.

The sculpture is owned by The Henry Moore Foundation and last year formed part of an exhibition at the newly created sculpture gardens of the world-famous Rijksmuseum in Amsterdam.

In Amsterdam, Reclining Woman: Elbow was one of 13 key works that formed a major exhibition representing 30 years of the Castleford-born artist's outdoor sculpture.
