Purchased by the present owners from Kettle's Yard, Cambridge.

专家说明

Roger Cole refers to Sophie Brzeska calling this work a 'Dachshound'. Unlike the Fawns of late 1913 and early 1914, which remained realistic in their representation, this sculpture retains the proportions of the dog and abstracts from them. Consequently, the work is a pleasing combination of intuitive response to animal form and geometric simplification, sympathetically expressed in semi-abstract terms (R. Cole, loc. cit.).

Several of the bronze casts are in public collections, including two at Kettle's Yard, Cambridge; one in Tate, London; one in the Art Gallery of New South Wales, Sydney; and one in Musée National d'Art Moderne, Paris.
