Lot Essay

cf. Bryan Catley, Art Deco and Other Figures, 1978, p. 268 for an illustration of an 'Oriental Waiter', which was also produced as a single sculpture. See Editions Graphiques Gallery (intro. by Victor Arwas) Chryselelphantine Sculpture, n.d., figs. 82 and 83 for illustrations of the boy waiter and of a girl version which was also produced.
