No data available - current owners unknown
Note:
The size of the sculpture and the base of this bronze including the feet are at variance with the work shown as LS6103!
Base of bronze LS6102.1 showing cast was of the wooden sculpture including original base in wood
The original wood sculpture LS6102 is most likely incorporated and reworked by the artist into LS6103 after damage from the casting processes for LS6102
