Altogether there are three plaster sculptures sharing the title 'Eastre' by Fergusson. The third is the original from which Fergusson cast the finished piece in brass. The others, of which this is one, portray female heads that were perhaps intermediate stages towards the realisation of the finished work.

In this version, although the facial features are stylised, the hair is loose and natural, contrasting with the precise, geometric treatment that Fergusson ultimately chose.
