Offered here is a striking and evocative mid-century modern bust titled “Jean” by British sculptor Herbert Dacker, signed and dated 1963. This captivating piece is not only an original work by a noted artist but also bears a rare Royal Scottish Academy exhibition tag, underscoring its provenance and artistic significance.
Although it carries the rich, textural patina of traditional bronze, the bust is crafted from a dense, high-quality resin material that beautifully mimics the depth and warmth of metal without the weight. The sculpture is mounted on a solid black wood base and stands an impressive 16.5 inches high, with a width of 7 inches and a depth of 6.75 inches. It weighs approximately 11 pounds and has a commanding presence that feels both timeless and distinctly mid-century. Good vintage condition with lights signs of age-related wear. Please review the photos for further condition assessment.
Dacker’s attention to detail and emotive modeling bring an introspective elegance to “Jean”, with delicate facial features and flowing hair that invite closer study. The surface is richly finished with bronze tones and subtle verdigris highlights, lending it depth and movement under changing light.
A rare opportunity to own an exhibition-level piece from a notable 20th-century sculptor—perfect for collectors of modernist portraiture, design aficionados, or anyone seeking a dramatic focal point for a curated interior.
