Loet Vanderveen Limited Edition Signed and Numbered Bronze “Lioness” Sculpture

Fine Art : Sculptures

 

Submitted for your consideration is an outstanding example of the artistry of one of the world’s greatest wildlife sculptors, Loet Vanderveen. Born in Holland in 1921, Vanderveen lived close to the city zoo, and legend has it that he spent many hours there observing the animals. This was his introduction into this kingdom, and he certainly made good use of these early observations, utilizing these memories to create a menagerie of sculptures that bring his own unique perspective on the beauty of the natural world.

This particular piece is a stunningly attractive example of his work. Entitled “Lioness” the bronze figure shows a magnificent lioness in a roaring pose. Please note the classic lines that the artist has used to capture the essence of the nobility of this wonderful creature. The lioness has her head thrown back, and her mouth is open in such a manner that if one listens closely, you can almost hear the deafening roar of this powerful beast. Like all of Vanderveen’s animals, the horse is depicted faceless, a generic vision of beauty. This is a limited edition of 750, and this is number 99. This is a rather small edition for this artist as other sculptures often number in the thousands. The limited nature of this limited edition is certain to enhance the value of this artwork.

Vanderveen’s works are exhibited in many museums, including the Monterey Museum of Art, the Pasadena Museum of Art, and the Museum of Contemporary Crafts in New York City. Among his celebrity collectors are Nancy Regan, Mary Tyler Moore, Bill Cosby and the Royal Belgium Zoological Society. “Lioness” measures 7” in height, and it is 7” long and 2” deep. Its condition is excellent. We can offer this gorgeous work from a heralded artist for $3200.00.
