Draped Seated Woman 1957–58 (LH 428) is a bronze sculpture by the British artist Henry Moore, cast in an edition of seven in the 1950s.

Overnight on 5–6 December 1958, the cast was tarred and feathered, and an anonymous letter was left suggesting that the metal would be better used to make 100 frying pans.

The derision continued, and the city authorities eventually donated the sculpture to the Von der Heydt Museum in 1963, and it was moved in September 1966.

A memo on 27 July 1961 from the Advisory Body relating to the Patronage of the Arts notes: "Stifford Estate, Stepney (1959–60 programme) Provision has been made for a sculpture at a cost of £2,200.

[14] The minutes of the General Purposes (Special Development and Arts) Sub-Committee dated 9 October 1961 passed a resolution that "subject to the approval of the Housing Committee the programmes of patronage of the arts for the years indicated are as follows:- (i) 1959–60 – Stifford Estate, Stepney – By the acquisition of a cast of "Draped Seated Woman" by Henry Moore, at a cost not exceeding £7,000...(instead of a sculpture at a cost of £2,200)".

In 2012, Tower Hamlets made a decision to sell the sculpture which led to a public campaign to prevent the sale and a subsequent legal challenge over title.

This followed a resolution in September 2010 where the council asked its officers to explore options and costs for relocating the sculpture in Tower Hamlets.

The findings were presented to the cabinet on 3 October 2012[16] who concluded they would seek to sell the sculpture and consign it to Christie's for sale at public auction.

These included that: Insufficient consideration has been given to alternative options for returning the sculpture to the borough for public view and the decision seems to have been rushed.

When challenged, Tower Hamlets was unable to provide any evidence that the sculpture was ever transferred to it on the abolition of the GLC and the case went to the High Court for a determination on title.

However the Judge accepted the final argument from Tower Hamlets that it had committed the tort of conversion when it loaned the sculpture as this was an act inconsistent with Bromley's rights as owner.

[19] With removal of Rahman there was another election for Mayor won by the Labour's John Biggs, who made a commitment to cancel the sale and investigate how the sculpture could be displayed in Tower Hamlets.

In 2017, the statue was returned to East London by the council, and displayed on private land at Cabot Square in the Canary Wharf development.
