Beautifully hand-painted and enhanced with 24K gold-plated accents, the sculpture portrays a wistful clown gracefully posed in a classic ballet position, wearing a soft pink tutu and bowler hat atop a natural onyx base.

Renowned for transforming circus characters into expressive works of art, Ron Lee became one of America’s most celebrated sculptors of collectible clown figures during the late twentieth century. His sculptures are admired for their detailed craftsmanship, expressive personalities, and signature combination of hand-painted finishes, precious metal accents, and natural stone bases.

Collectors often refer to this design as a “Ballerina Clown,” inspired by its elegant ballet pose and contemplative expression. The sculpted tutu, textured gold stage, hand-painted facial details, and richly veined natural onyx base create an engaging composition from every angle.

Signed and dated “Ron ’84,” this sculpture displays beautifully in a curio cabinet, library, office, or living room and makes a wonderful addition to a Ron Lee collection or any collection of vintage American figurative sculpture. See less
