About the Item
"Juliet, Atelier" by Richard MacDonald captures the essence of Shakespeare’s beloved heroine in a moment of tender longing and quiet strength. Bent forward with arms gently extended in bras bas, Juliet conveys vulnerability, grace, and emotional depth through pure physicality. MacDonald reimagines the iconic love story through the lens of gesture and form, allowing the sculpture to speak emotionally and universally without the need for words. The result is an original, contemporary interpretation of a classic narrative—poetic, graceful, and achingly familiar.
As part of the exclusive atelier series, "Juliet, Atelier" is rare and refined, distinguished by its expressive detail and sculptural elegance. Its craftsmanship, literary metaphor, and romantic legacy make it an exceptional and highly collectible work.

Richard MacDonald
There are artists and there are masters. Richard MacDonald will go down in the history of sculpture as Picasso did painting, as an unequivocal master of the art.
Only a number of people can master craftsmanship, far fewer, the art of the human form. Figurative sculpture is a language MacDonald speaks with astounding fluency, and as with any language, MacDonald’s creative drive is formed from a need to share the universal dialect of the human figure with those who understand it; this is the unique privilege the artist affords his viewers.
MacDonald captures the beauty, romance and essence of the human spirit in motion. Influenced by the expressiveness in the figures of Renaissance master Donatello, the emotional intensity of works by 19th century French sculptor Auguste Rodin, and the power of Michelangelo’s sculptures, MacDonald’s inspirational, sensitive works are precisely of the moment, yet profoundly historic by reference. And they dance rhythmically for all to see — in the leap and grace of the dancer, the power of the athlete, the gesture and passion of lovers, the spirit rises, and MacDonald captures it.
