Bronze
25” H × 21” W
This bronze maquette was created as part of the design process for The Lion’s Fountain. While developing the fountain, Doug Freeman produced a small maquette that was placed directly into the site model to explore the relationship between the sculpture, the water, and the surrounding space.
This larger maquette was made to study the lion itself—its gesture, balance, and overall composition. At 25 inches tall with a 21-inch span across the forearms, the piece allowed Freeman to refine the form and character of the figure before scaling the sculpture to its final monumental size.
Like many of Freeman’s working models, the maquette is both a design tool and a finished sculpture in its own right, capturing the energy and presence that would ultimately shape the completed fountain.
