Artist, British, 1898 - 1986

The sculpture depicts an abstract human form reclining on its side, with one arm resting beneath its head and the other along its side. The body features smooth, flowing curves and a hollow section around the torso area. This sculpture is made of a dark, polished material, likely bronze, positioned on a black stone base, surrounded by grass and trees in a natural outdoor setting. The abstracted human figure is stylized rather than anatomically realistic, offering a smooth, minimalist surface with details simplified or omitted.
