This bronze sculpture of a Head of a Girl (1925) is a study for the figure ‘Cornucopia’, a more stylised Ham Hill stone carving which belonged to Lord Ivor Spencer Churchill (1898-1956) and is now in the University of Hull Art Collection. Another cast of the whole figure, also known as Choephora, was exhibited at the Leicester Galleries, London, March–April 1927 (20) and is now in The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, bequeathed by the artist Keith Baynes (1887-1977).
