Bronze bust of Sandra Dorne by Jacob Epstein – £11,000 at HRD Auction Rooms.
A little-known Jacob Epstein (1880-1959) sculpture of the British actress Sandra Dorne took an estimate-topping £11,000 at HRD Auction Rooms (20% buyer’s premium) on the Isle of Wight.
The 22in (56cm) high bronze bust, signed behind the shoulder Epstein 1953 and on a revolving wooden display stand, was consigned to the August 10 sale from a deceased American estate.
