Executed as a fully realized sculptural form, the piece emphasizes anatomical reduction and organic continuity, allowing the natural wood grain to function as both surface and structure. The stylized female torso is modeled with restrained modernist sensibility, balancing abstraction and figuration while preserving the material’s inherent rhythm.


Sculptural works by Buckland are notably scarce relative to his painted output, positioning this example as a distinctive extension of his studio practice. Measuring 20.5 inches in height, the sculpture presents as a statement object suitable for collector display or curated interior placement.

Provenance details unknown; acquired directly from a Northern California collection.
The sculpture was presented as a personal gift to a private recipient who passed away shortly thereafter; retained within the recipient’s estate until dispersal.
