A hand-carved wooden figure of a rugby player in stride, signed “Nevey” at the base. The player is depicted mid-run, ball held firmly to the chest, one foot lifted and the other grounded, capturing a moment of forward motion.
A study of movement and form carved from solid wood and finished in a deep, warm brown tone, the surface shows subtle wear and variation throughout, emphasizing the hand of the maker and the grain of the material. Early repair to the legs, stable and unobtrusive.
