About the Item

A patinated resin maquette sculpture of a half length female nude by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills. As a part of his female nude series, this piece depicts the figure in a striking pose, displayed in a mid century modern style with missing elements to her physique to create an emotive quality. The impressive scale and patinated bronze like finish compliments the intriguing subject, making this the perfect sculpture for decorative display in a modern interior. Price includes Artist’s Resale Rights (ARR) at 4%. John W. Mills (1933-2023) John Mills was a highly celebrated 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 receive 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.
