Maquette Sculpture of ‘Doris the Afghan Hound’ by John W. Mills

About the Item

A bronze sculpture titled ‘Doris the Afghan Hound’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills, stood upon an integral rectangular marble base. This piece showcases John W. Mills himself carrying his dog Doris on his shoulders; a striking depiction that represents the bond between the pair. This piece is the original bronze sculpture depicting Mills and his beloved Afghan hound. A series that truly shows why we call dogs a man’s best friend. This sculpture is unsigned. 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. This sculpture formed part of this curated collection, from which we selected several pieces, offering a rare chance to obtain original works made by the artist, including sculptural pieces for garden, interior and exhibition.
