About the Item

A wonderful and extremely detailed bronze of a girl holding a bunny by the noted American Artist Edward Fenno Hoffman III. It is signed and dated 1977 and also numbered 4/10. It is pictured on the title page of mr Hoffman's book as works on the plaster on the front cover. This is one of the most charming large bronzes I have seen in a while. A complete bio is available in the book but the accompanying brief bio is from his NY times obituary in 1991; Edward Fenno Hoffman 3d, a sculptor of portraits, children and religious themes, died on Friday at Bryn Mawr (Pa.) Hospital. He was 74 years old and lived in Wayne, Pa. His wife, the former Nadine Kalpaschnikoff, said he died of leukemia. Mr. Hoffman, who was born in Philadelphia, attended the Pennsylvania Academy of Fine Arts and worked briefly as an assistant to the sculptor Paul Manship. His first New York exhibition was in 1956 at the Grand Central Art Gallery, which represented him for the rest of his life. His work is in the collections of the Philadelphia Museum of Art, the Pennsylvania Academy of the Fine Arts and the National Academy of Design. His public sculptures include an "Ascension" at the Cathedral of St. John the Divine in New York City, a "Descent From the Cross" at St. John's Church in Southampton, L.I., and a "Pieta" at the American Cathedral in Rome.
