Toussaint Riendeau - Signed Bronze Figure of a Wom

Updated September 18, 2026

A powerful and elegantly reductive bronze by Toussaint Riendeau, this limited edition figure distills the human form to its most essential contours while retaining a quietly lyrical presence. Cast in solid bronze and standing 11 inches tall on an integral base, the sculpture presents a stylized female figure with a long columnar dress, subtly modeled breasts, tapered waist, and a faceted head that turns slightly to the right. The arms are intentionally abbreviated to emphasize silhouette and volume rather than gesture, and the surface is richly worked with a hand-tooled texture that reads beautifully from every angle - warm brown and golden tones gather in the recesses while the high points show soft highlights, giving the patina depth and movement under light. The front and oblique views reveal Riendeau’s sensitive handling of anatomy, the reverse view shows the elegant sweep of the back and skirt, and close inspection of the base confirms the artist’s incised signature Riendeau together with the edition designation. This example is numbered 1 of 9, making it the first casting in a very small edition - an important consideration for advanced collectors of contemporary bronze.<br>Dimensions 4 in x 3 in x 11 in tall. A superb presence for a pedestal, console, or vitrine, this work exemplifies high quality modern figurative bronze - intimate in scale yet monumental in spirit - and will anchor any collection that values sculptural tactility, refined abstraction, and impeccable casting. Signed at the base - numbered 1 of 9. <br> <br>
