During the 150th anniversary year of Mahatma Gandhi’s birth, this 3ft 1in (94.5cm) high maquette for the famous statue of him in London’s Tavistock Square will be offered at Salisbury saleroom Woolley & Wallis on June 5.
The sculptor was Polish-born Fredda Brilliant (1903-99), who depicted a number of people involved in India’s move from colonial rule to independence. She lived in India with her husband, the writer Herbert Marshall, throughout the 1950s and early 60s.
