Henri Gaudier-Brzeska, Crouching Fawn 1913, posthumous cast
Display caption
The motif of an animal seated with legs tightly folded underneath it is suggestive of Chinese animal figure carvings. This particular piece, however, was based on one of a group of pen drawings of fawns made by Gaudier-Brzeska in the same day. It is a plaster cast of a sculpture in Bath stone which was one of several carvings exhibited by Gaudier at the second Grafton Group Show at the Alpine Gallery in January 1914.
