''........As with lots 72 and 74, this sculpture was executed as part of a series of studies for a life-size buffalo piece, and explores a different aspect of the buffalo: not so much its power (as in the charging maquette lot 74), but the lazy buffalo. Relaxed in the African sun, wallowing in mud, lying in the dust, this massive animal, huge head, huge neck, is huge boss in terms of its horns. My experience is that in the heat of the day they lie extremely still, almost withdrawn, asleep but still very much aware of what is going on around them, and still very powerful.''
