Toussaint Riendeau - Signed Limited Edition Bronze

Updated September 18, 2026

A masterfully cast and deeply evocative bronze by acclaimed contemporary sculptor Toussaint Riendeau, this limited edition work, numbered 1 of only 9, embodies the artist’s profound sensitivity to form, presence, and emotional stillness. Measuring 11 1/3 inches high x 5 inches wide x 4 3/4 inches deep, this commanding yet intimate sculpture captures the quiet dignity of the human figure distilled to its essential gesture.<br><br>Cast in solid bronze with a rich, hand-applied patina that shifts between deep earthen browns and glimmering golden undertones, the surface reveals the artist’s intentional tool marks, giving the figure a raw and tactile vitality. The minimalist contours, softened anatomy, and upward lean of the head suggest introspection and resilience, hallmarks of Riendeau’s refined sculptural language.<br><br>Signed RIENDEAU in the bronze to the underside and authenticated as the first cast in a numbered edition of nine, this work exemplifies the rare harmony between abstraction and figuration that defines Riendeau’s oeuvre. The piece rests upon an organically shaped base, uniting sculpture and plinth into a seamless expression of grounded humanity.<br><br>This important bronze displays beautifully from every angle and possesses the contemplative gravity associated with great modern sculpture. The form’s subtle tilt and elongated proportions evoke timeless influences from Brancusi and Giacometti, while retaining the unique warmth and individuality of Riendeau’s vision.<br><br>Presented in excellent condition, with only the expected natural variations in patina consistent with fine art bronze, this is a museum-quality work ideal for both refined private interiors and institutional collections. Its edition number - the inaugural cast of nine - adds further distinction and desirability.<br><br>A rare opportunity to acquire an early and exceptional example of Toussaint Riendeau’s work, representing the intersection of contemporary sculpture, modernist purity, and enduring human emotion. <br> <br>
