A study for the life size The Fount 1947-8, commissioned by James Archdale.

'His primary inspiration remained the female figure. Whether worked in stone, plaster, terracotta or bronze, his figures have an architectural quality, but are also of the earth. Their apparent simplicity masks a formal complexity, but a complexity that has a beguiling naturalness to it. The mood is gentle and sensuous, but serious, and the best work possesses both grace and grandeur.'
Andrew Lambirth, Frank Dobson 'Bring it Alive'. Goldmark 2022.
