Provenance:

Private collection, Toronto, ON

Note:

Perhaps less stylized than its companion, lot 56, the present sculpture exhibits a more restrained style. Here Barnabus’ skill for gesture and the posturing of his figures is apparent, as is his use of varied texture to draw interest and attention to form.
