About the Item
A rare, unique and very unusual sculptural hand carved wooden plaque depicting a nude couple in bed signed John Baldwin (b. London, 1937) and dated 1985. The rectangular shaped plaque is carved in deep relief and depicts a bearded man sleeping partially covered by a sheet, his body decorated with 'scrimshaw like' tattoos depicting various scenes and imagery. He lies alongside a lady again partially covered by a sheet and also sleeping. The depiction is superbly executed and the panel has a slight cutout V separation between the pillows along the top edge. The carving is signed to the back John Baldwin and dated 1985. It has a gallery/exhibition number attached along with two metal hanging loops.
John Baldwin was a wood sculptor who was born in London in 1937 and studied at Camberwell School of Arts
Crafts between 1962-65. His work was widely exhibited with work sold through notable galleries including John Hunt in St James, London.
