Dennis Farr & Eva Chadwick, Lynn Chadwick: Sculptor, With a Complete Illustrated Catalogue 1947-1996, Oxford, 200🐈6, no.💃 128, the sketch illustrated p. 128 

Good condition. The surface of the sculpture has an intentionally uneven and textured appearance. There are possibly some small areas of medium loss around the edges, the most prominent being at the top. There are tiny cracks visible in the surface in the back, which are perhaps a result of the artist's process of execution. Over all, this work is in good condition.
