This small bronze figure depicts a female form who is nude apart from the hat upon her head. Her elbows rest upon the railing behind her. This sculpture was commissioned with the assistance of the Director of the Barber Institute of Fine Arts with a charitable donation by Vice-Chancellor Sir Robert Aitken on his retirement in 1968. A small resin model of this sculpture was shown at the Barber Institute in the early 1970s.
