About the Item
A large freestanding sculpture depicting a dancing couple; an original resin maquette made by acclaimed artist, John W. Mills, for his ‘Harlequinade’ series.
Just one of various resin maquettes we are selling from his 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.
This sculpture depicts the ballet partners – Harlequin and Columbine – dancing together with arms raised in unison. The artist captures the dancers in such a way that creates a sense of movement, telling the story of the pair in this theatrical love story.
Stable and freestanding, this dancing 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. Mill’s creative studio at his family home in Hinxworth Place, Hertfordshire were dispersed.
