The title Walking in Beauty refers to beauty as an inner state: living in harmony, strength and connection with the world around you. The warm, patinated bronze emphasises the human forms and gives the sculpture a timeless presence.

Its compact size makes this sculpture well suited to a sideboard, pedestal or table.
