Additional Details

Purchased from the artist by art historian James Amos Porter in 1934. Leslie Garland Bolling (1898-1955) was known for his wood sculptural works. Bolling often painted his sculptures, but this piece and one other that we have handled were left unpainted with their warm, natural patina. Provenance: Estate of James Amos and Dorothy Porter Wesley.
