David Hostetler (American, b. 1926)

Quiet Woman
Signed "D. Hostetler" on the lower edge of the back, inscribed "Quiet Woman/71 AP #
1" on a label affixed to the felt bottom of the plinth.
Bronze with buffed patina, height 10 1/4 in. (26.0 cm), on a marble plinth.
Condition: Small area of oxidation to the patina at the back of the neck, minor surface grime.

N.B. The image for Quiet Woman was first carved in wood by David Hostetler. After casting, an assistant re-carved the carving marks in the bronze and buffed the surface. The artist signed the cast using a jeweler's tool. The label on the felt on the bottom of the plinth is that of the artist, providing the title, date, and number of the artist's proof.

We would like to thank Susan Hostetler, wife of the artist, for her assistance cataloging this lot.
