Additional Details

Purchased from the artist Leslie Garland Bolling (1898-1955) by art historian James Amos Porter in 1934. Bolling later wrote to Porter that "New Moon" was an early piece and that he would have preferred to provide more detail to the hands. Unlike some of the artist's later painted wood sculpture, this piece has a natural patina. Provenance: James Amos Porter Collection.
