Sir Edgar Bertram Mackennal (12 June 1863 10 October 1931), usually known as Bertram Mackennal, was an Australian sculptor and medallist, most famous for designing the coinage and stamps bearing the likeness of George V. He signed his work “BM”. Born in Melbourne in 1863, Sir Bertram Mackennal played a pivotal role in the development of the English New Sculpture movement. His works are currently housed in important public collections around the world, including TATE Britain (London), the Royal Academy (London), the Royal Collection (Windsor), the Art Gallery of New South Wales (Australia) and the National Gallery of Victoria (Australia).
He was one of the few artists that King George V liked, and, as a result, was selected to create many sculptures of the late king. Some of his more notable works include statues of George on display in Delhi and Madras.
This is a heavy sculpture 20+ kg of marble equestrianism, it would make a beautiful statement piece in any setting. (There is a small chip to the base but does not take away the beauty of tis sculpture)
