Born in South Africa to an English father, Stockdale worked in both London and South Africa and was amongst the relatively small group of women working as sculptors in the Edwardian period particularly in South Africa. After World War I she returned to London establishing a studio in Hammersmith after the war and she travelled internationally. In London Stockdale sought primarily animal commissions relying on London Zoo for sketching the more exotic animals she had access to in South Africa. Although little is known of her later career, it seems that she was dogged by fragile health and died in Salisbury in 1933.品相报告: With marks, knocks, scratches, abrasions consistent with age, handling, cleaning and everyday useBoth with fairly mild rubbing and patination wear to extremities- shoulder blades and shoulders- hers more worn, both with plaster filled basesPlease refer to additional images for visual references to condition which forms part of this condition report.All lots are available for inspection and Condition Reports are available on request.
