- Lot Description
A striking sculptural portrait of Franklin D. Roosevelt, this bronze bust is attributed to noted American sculptor Jo Davidson, whose work is well known for capturing prominent political and cultural figures of the early 20th century. The piece features a strong, lifelike rendering of Roosevelt’s profile with expressive surface modeling and a warm, aged patina. The underside and rear edge bear a cast signature reading “Jo Davidson,” along with what appears to be a dated inscription, adding to its authenticity and period appeal. The bust is mounted on a black base with a plaque reading “Franklin D. Roosevelt by Jo Davidson,” creating a classic presentation suitable for display. Showing age-appropriate wear to both the bronze and base, this is an impressive historical decorative object that would appeal to collectors of political memorabilia, American sculpture, or early 20th-century art. Approx. dimensions (in): 11.25 x 6 x 6.
