About the Item
Highly unusual in Beatrice Fenton's oeuvre, this dramatic figure of a Black male figure with his arms raised and crossed at the wrist -- either in celebration, worship, agony or adoration, it's not clear -- may depict an African or an African American. Fenton is best known for sculpting a long line of garden and fountain figures in bronze -- often children at play -- which were and are widely sought after by collectors. However, she also sculpted adult portraits and dancers, so this figure fits into Fenton's larger pattern of figural sculptures. There is no evidence that this plaster was ever cast in bronze, so it is our belief that this piece is unique. It is mounted on a curving piece of walnut, so it is a finished piece ready for display.
