About the Item
A large figurative sculpture depicting the two dancers, Harlequin and Columbine, by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills. Part of the artist’s ‘Harlequinade’ series, this is just one of various resin maquettes we are selling from the collection.
This stunning series was originally commissioned by P&O Cruises for ‘The Aurora’; the company’s oldest cruise ship, launched in the year 2000. The life-size sculptures, for which this series of dancing maquettes were modelled, were destined for the ship’s lavish ballroom where they would decorate the room’s internal niches.
An original maquette, this sculpture depicts the ballet partners together wearing masks, Columbine’s arm around Harlequin in an embrace as they dance, the artist capturing the dancers in such a way that creates a sense of movement. Embellished details to their clothing add to the overall look of the piece, telling the story of the dancers in this theatrical love story.
Mounted onto a resin base, this dancer statue is perfect for decorative display in an interior or garden.
John W. Mills (1933-2023)
John Mills was a highly acclaimed English sculptor, celebrated across the globe for his contemporary statues, bronze figures and artistic maquettes.
Mills showcased a flair for sculpture from a young age, first exhibiting at the Royal Academy of Arts in 1951 and then hosting his first one-man show at the AIA Gallery, London in 1959. Throughout his distinguished career, Mills went on to received several prizes and accolades and many notable commissions.
Some of his most famous works include the monumental memorial to The Woman of World War II in Whitehall, London and the National Firefighters Memorial near St. Paul’s Cathedral, London.
Following the sculptor’s passing in 2023, the contents of John W. Mills’ creative studio at his family home in Hinxworth Place, Hertfordshire were dispersed.
