Rosewall: Curved Reclining Form by Barbara Hepworth

Created between 1960 and 1962, this modern sculpture, by the world renowned Yorkshire sculptress Barbara Hepworth, was purchased by Chesterfield Borough Council and sits by the path from Queen's Park to the town centre. It was named after a hill in Cornwall which is surrounded by ancient stones worn by the weather. "The stone is myself," Hepworth once said, "looking out to the Atlantic with the sound and smell of the sea."
