This sculpture fragment is part of a larger work portraying the artist Thelonius Stokes, created during his time as a student at The Florence Academy of Art.

Thelonius entered the studio and assumed a pose on the model stand that was both commanding and introspective, marked by a quiet vulnerability. Wearing his oversized winter coat, he evoked an immediate visual impression that initially inspired a composition reminiscent of Rodin’s Balzac. Ultimately, however, the strength of the portrait emerged so clearly that it stood on its own, despite its modest scale.

Year sculpted: 2018.

Dimensions (H x W): 12cm x 8cm. Actual size may vary, especially depending on the base.

  • Size: the head is around 12cm high, including base total height is around 20 cm.
  • Cast in bronze in Florence, Italy.
  • Edition of 10.
