Dimensions:
This finely modelled cast bronze figurine depicts William Shakespeare and is a well-executed decorative sculpture with strong presence and character. Standing 32 cm tall and weighing approximately 2.8 kilograms, the piece has a pleasing sense of solidity and balance, enhanced by its circular bronze base.
Shakespeare is shown standing in period dress, his cloak draped over one shoulder and his pose conveying both movement and quiet authority. The modelling of the figure is detailed, with careful attention paid to the facial features, beard, and the folds of the costume, giving the piece depth and visual interest from all angles. The surface displays a rich, dark bronze patination, which adds warmth and highlights the sculptural detail.
Well suited to display on a shelf, desk, or side table, this bronze would make an attractive decorative accent in a study, library, or sitting room. Its modest scale allows it to be displayed easily, while its weight and quality give it a sense of permanence.
