T03482 Pregnant Woman 1912

Inscribed ‘13’ under base in red paint

Lit: Bert van Bork, Jacques Lipchitz. The Artist at Work, 1966, p.88; Lipchitz 1972, p.11 and repr.fig.6 (bronze); Stott 1975, pp.186 and 256 (2, bronze)
The artist associated this sculpture with the ‘Woman with Gazelles’ group of the same year, although it was an independent sculpture.
There is no record of a bronze cast before the reproduction in Lipchitz's autobiography. The figure's hair appears to have been remodelled at some time before its reproduction in Bert van Bork's book of 1966, but otherwise this is presumably an original plaster of 1912.
