Edwin Whitney-Smith (1880-1952) studied sculpture at Bath and Bristol art schools and in his early career exhibited at the Paris Salon and the Royal Academy. His sitters included Ernest Bevin, Mrs S. A. Courtauld and Sir Alfred Munnings. The current lot is a 1941 version of ‘The Waking Child’ which was shown at the Royal Academy in 1920 and acquired by the Ferens Art Gallery, Hull. A 1920s photograph of Whitney-Smith in his studio with The Waking Child is held in the National Portrait Gallery (NPG x194201).

This bronze sculpture is in good overall condition. There are the inevitable marks, scratches and dents consistent with age and use. There are some marks and wear to the patina in places. There are some very minoir specks of white paint overall.
