Artist, British, 1893 - 1962

A carved statue of a human figure stands holding a spear and small animal in the foreground. A snarling tiger figure is positioned at its feet to the left, and a lizard is close by on the right. In the background, a large lion-like statue with a curling tail is on the far right edge of the composition. The color palette is monochromatic, with shades of black and white creating high contrast and textures.
