Beulah Ecton Woodard was an African-American sculptor and painter in California who specialized in African subjects. The first African American artist to show her work at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art, she founded the Los Angeles Negro Art Association (1937). One version of this work was in the collection of Golden State Mutual Life, sold at auction by Swann Auction Galleries in 2007. Another version, and probably the one in this photograph, was in the Miriam Matthews collection (some of which is on loan at the California African American Museum in Los Angeles). Bronze bust titled Bad Boy.
