Provenance:
The Estate of Rosalind Constable.
Christie's East, New York, sale of November 14, 1995, lot 157/3 (listed as "cast stone").
Acquired directly from the above sale.
height: 8 1/2 in. (21.6cm)
width: 5 in. (12.7cm)
depth: 5 in. (12.7cm)
In overall good condition, with accumulated grime and dust in the interstices of the work. With a glittery surface, which comes from the stone itself. With remnants of white paint splatters visible locally on the base (upfront, towards the rear and at right) as well as on the cat (near its right ear but also on its neck and back). Both cat's ears are abraded, and judging from their unsmooth aspect they appear to have suffered a loss. Additional images available upon request.
