Note: One of the most important sculptors in Britain of the 20th century, Sir Jacob Epsteins works adorn public sites, including Coventry Cathedral, Hyde Park, London and the Père Lachaise Cemetery, Paris. The artist created highly sensitive works, characterised by highly textured surfaces and expressive, heavy features. This is the first sculpture that the artist made of Kathleen Garman, who would go on to be his second wife, after their first meeting in 1921. This work was first owned by Edward P. Schinman, an important Epstein collector and scholar.
Casts of this work can be found in public collections including Manchester Art Gallery and The New Art Gallery Walsall.
