John W. Mills (1933-2023) Artist's Maquette Of A Couple Dancing

A large sculpture depicting a couple dancing; an original resin maquette made by acclaimed artist, John W. Mills.

Just one of various resin maquettes we are selling from the late artist's collection, this bronzed resin sculpture would have been used as a model for the final bronze. Mounted on a wooden base, two figures dance together, each with an arm raised back in unison to create a sense of movement, bringing an air of elegance to your interior.
