Portrait Sculpture in Bronze, Plaster & Jesmonite

BestWaxFigures creates portrait sculptures in bronze, plaster and Jesmonite. Each piece is developed from reference material and shaped to capture the subject's likeness and character.

Portraits can be commissioned for individuals, families, collections and public settings. The material and scale are considered alongside the subject, where the sculpture will be displayed and the level of detail the project calls for.

Developing the portrait

Photographs can guide the sculpting process. Where practical, one or two in-person sittings provide additional reference for the subject's proportions and expression. The sculpture is modelled by hand, with progress reviewed before it moves to the next stage.

For bronze portraits, the approved model is prepared for moulding and casting, then finished with a patina. Plaster and Jesmonite offer other material options. The choice depends on the portrait, its intended setting and the project requirements.

Discuss a commission

When you enquire, include the subject, preferred material, approximate size, intended setting and any reference photographs you can share. BestWaxFigures can then discuss the project and prepare a tailored quote.
