Repr. H. S. Ede, A Life of Gaudier-Brzeska, 1930, pl. 42 (from a photograph showing the sculptor standing beside the original marble).
No. 3 in an edition of six casts made by H. S. Ede from the original marble, now in the Musée Nationale d’Art Moderne, Paris. Pound’s list of Gaudier’s work in his Gaudier-Brzeska, 1916, confirms that this, the ‘Femme Assise’ of Gaudier’s own catalogue of his work, was one of his last sculptures.
