The Sandman
Artist's Private Collection
Height - 17", Width - 16", Depth - 5". One-of-a-kind figure whose head and limbs are sculpted from polymer clay, with a cloth body over a wire armature, and hand painted porcelain eyes. He wears a suede tunic, challis shirt, woolen tights, a velvet cape, leather shoes, and a felt hat made from original patterns.
The Sandman was inspired by Maxfield Parrish's nursery rhyme drawings done for seed company catalogs.
