This bust of Ernest Hemingway is part of a numbered and certified edition of only 50 pieces to be released by the artist. Each of the resin bronze statues is cast and finished by the sculptor. The work stands at approximately 14 inches, is cast in resin bronze and mounted on a hardwood plinth. Attached to the plinth is an engraved brass plaque with the inscription “Ernest Hemingway” – (these can be custom made with wording of your choice on request). It is finished with a “penny black” patination (a light verdigris over graphite black). This “desktop” bust is priced at £395 and is available to purchase either through my Etsy shop or I’m happy to arrange payment with calculated shipping via Paypal. Each of the edition is cast to order so please allow around 2 weeks from date of order for delivery. This bust of Edgar Allan Poe is one of a range of literary sculptures produced by the artist. Please feel free to get in touch if you have any questions.
Ernest Hemingway (1899–1961), the Nobel Prize-winning author and towering figure of 20th-century literature, remains a symbol of adventure, stoicism, and raw storytelling power. Known for classics like The Old Man and the Sea, A Farewell to Arms, and For Whom the Bell Tolls, Hemingway pioneered a terse, impactful prose style—the “Iceberg Theory”—that continues to influence writers worldwide. His rugged persona, shaped by experiences as a war correspondent, big-game hunter, and expatriate, mirrored the bold characters he brought to life on the page.
Hemingway’s legacy transcends literature; he embodied a life of passion, courage, and unyielding pursuit of truth. This meticulously crafted bronze bust captures his iconic features—the intense gaze, weathered beard, and resolute expression—that defined his larger-than-life aura. Ideal for libraries, study spaces, or collectors of literary memorabilia.
