"Reclining Figure", 1951 by Henry Moore in one of a number of his sculptures that have their own dedicated room in Tate Britain. This one caught my eye as rather unusually for Moore it wasn't made of bronze or marble.
When I visited Tate Britain a few weeks ago it was probably the quietest I've ever seen it. Due to lingering Covid restrictions it was advance tickets only so that may well have been a part of it.

From the Tate Britain website, ""In the late 1940s, the Arts Council invited Moore to submit ideas for a sculpture to be sited at the South Bank site of the Festival of Britain. Although the organising committee suggested a family theme, Moore chose to make this tense, skeletal reclining form. The work on display is the plaster model for the bronze, which was cast in an edition of five."
