LABRADOR PORTRAIT 2 SCULPTURE

“The Labrador Portrait 2 sculpture was modelled on a beautiful lab, Prince, who’d sadly passed away prior to the commission.
Prince was commissioned in 2016 and I worked from his owner’s favourite photographs. He was a very handsome boy, and it was a challenge to capture his spirit and manner, but I really enjoyed sculpting him.”

This bronze labrador statue bears Tanya’s signature and unique edition number. Your casting of the Labrador Portrait 2 sculpture will be personally approved and will be accompanied by a certificate of authenticity.

10% of the proceeds from this bronze dog sculpture support ‘The Dogs Trust’ animal charity.

Which Material to Choose

Bronze Resin – bronze metal powder is mixed with a resin to create the appearance of foundry bronze metal, but is more affordable and lightweight.

Foundry Bronze  – refers to the poured molten metal that is cast solid or hollow, depending on size, at a bronze foundry (using the traditional lost wax process). It is more robust and will appreciate in value.

This table-sized labrador statue is sculpted by the artist Tanya Russell, who is the UK’s pre-eminent dog sculptor. Tanya has a passion for improving the welfare of the animals she sculpts and 10% of all proceeds from the Labrador Portrait 2 statue will go to the ‘Dogs Trust’, a charity that provides sanctuary and rehoming services for dogs in the UK and also lobbies for welfare policy changes all over the world.

The Labrador Portrait 2 is a limited edition sculpture, and your piece will be a superb recreation of the original clay labrador sculpture, taken from a mould. Your bronze dog sculpture can be cast in Bronze Resin or Foundry Bronze metal depending on which material you prefer.

How The Sculpture Was Made

I sculpted Prince using photographs sent from his owner.  They kindly showed me what they loved about their handsome boy, and took some measurements for me. After that, with his owners, I decided which pose would suit Prince best, then proceeded to model him in clay.

Once I’d sculpted Prince a rubber mould was taken, with ‘keys’ placed in the rubber to ensure proper positioning. Then a shell of fibreglass was applied, to protect the mould and support it during the casting process.
