Descp.: Bust of a woman from Iraq / Wood Sculpture/ 1981
Iraqi Artist Khalil AL-WARD (1921-1984)
"He chose specific topics that he loved very much and he has worked hard to highlight the issue of Iraqi girls and women, which is part of the movement of natural wood that he has chosen, as well as what he wanted from a purported movement that combines the movement of the wood and the movement required that he’s interested in."
Dr. Tarek Madhlum from Sakir Hassan Al-Saeed’s Book – Khalil Al-Ward, the Sculpturer - 1988
This sculpture has been acquired from a private collection acquired from the artist directly, is published in the artist’s Facebook page and was exhibited in his private exhibition in 1981

لفنان العراقي خليل الورد
"اختار مواضيع محددة أحبها كثيراً وقد اجتهد كثيراً في إبراز موضوع الفتاة والمرأة العراقية وهي ضمن حركة الخشب الطبيعية التي اختارها وكذلك ضمن ما أراد من حركة متقصدة، تجمع بين حركة الخشبة والحركة المطلوبة التي أثارته"
د. طارق مظلوم من كتاب شاكر حسن ال سعيد – خليل الورد نحاتا – 1988
