This life-size bronze sculpture captures a quiet, introspective moment, rendered with remarkable sensitivity and technical precision. Sculpted from a live model, the work conveys a natural authenticity, where subtle shifts in expression and posture reveal a sense of calm reflection.

The surface treatment is rich and expressive, combining smooth, luminous planes with organically textured elements that appear to emerge and dissolve along the shoulders and neckline. This contrast creates a compelling dialogue between refinement and raw materiality, giving the piece both presence and movement.

The sculpture received distinguished recognition from the Canadian Portrait Society, where it was awarded Portrait of the Year. It was also honored at the Naples Art and later sold in Naples, further affirming its appeal among collectors.

Cast in bronze, the work embodies permanence while preserving the immediacy of the artist’s hand, resulting in a timeless and evocative portrait.
