A detail of the Gazebo at Gibberd in Harlow, Essex, with a sculptured plaque by Gerda Rubinstein and below a sculpture by Fred Kormis. The roundel above depicts Sir Frederick Gibberd working at his desk with Patricia, Lady Gibberd weeding. Sir Fredrick noted, 'Henry Moore said that the [gazebo's] ground floor, with its recession behind columns, reminded him of a Florentine painting of a Mother and Child framed in an architectural setting. Being unconvinced about virgin births, we installed this 'Girl with Kid' by Fred Kormis.'
