Description:
"Standing Girl" by Vincent Butler, signed and dated 1977 2/8 in the cast, mounted upon a granite pedestal.

An elegant standing Nude in relaxed pose, based on the original modelled in 1975 entitled "Debbie" and cast by the Gaskin Foundry in 1975/6 (exhibited at the Royal Scottish Academy.) The original plaster was "somewhat damaged in transit from the foundry so I remodelled it in part and struck 3 casts". No further casts were made and the original plaster has been destroyed.

Provenance: A private collection in Germany.
