Probably also dating from the same period of the late 1950s or early 1960s, it must surely be the work of an accomplished sculptor and not a talented beginner. In stark contrast to the previous lot, where the figure looks like a warrior-mother girded for battle, this beautiful sculpture speaks of roundness and fullness and well-being. It is classic and superb.Provenance
