Description

Wild Boar sculpture, 1969 by Elisabeth Frink is situated in the Water Gardens of Harlow civic centre.

The sculpture is of bronze, approximately 76cm in height, upon a bronze-faced plinth set just above water level. The semi-figurative figure is characterised by its poised, alert stance and the contrast between heavy torso and dainty, attenuated limbs. Whilst the body is exaggeratedly narrow and the hindquarters underdeveloped, the head is rendered as a large, sweeping snout and the eyes indicated only by slight marks. The surface of the piece is lightly textured, a finish created by manipulating the wet plaster with tools.
