Put ever so slightly in mind of some sculptures in Bolton, that loved as a kid.
I just googled and apparently they were by Jacob Epstein:

Total tangent I know, and a different style, but this was always my favourite of his:
'Maquet for the TUC War Memorial':

[eta] Those images come up as too massive if I link to em.
Have changed to url
