About the Item
An original framed photograph of the sculpture titled ‘Irma La Douce’ by the acclaimed British sculptor, John W. Mills, and the actress Elizabeth Seal.
This is truly an elegant piece for an interior display, as it strikes a pose to create a sense of movement: she stands tall with crossed legs to reflect actress Elizabeth Seal during her role as Irma in the film ‘Irma La Douce’.
The original black and white photograph by Michael Ward depicts Seal gazing her copy’s pose during its time in the Alwyn Gallery, London, 1977.
Signed to the base ‘Michael Ward, 1977’.
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.
