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.
