This lot features a bronze statuette of The Duke of Windsor, Prince Edward VIII, mounted on horseback. Sydney March (British 1876–1968). March was a prolific artist, whose primary focus was portrait busts and other sculptures of British royalty and contemporary figures, as well as war memorials. One of eight artists in his family, he and his siblings completed the National War Memorial of Canada after the death of their brother Vernon March in 1930. Son of George Henry March and his wife Elizabeth Blenkin, Sydney was born in 1876 in Stoneferry, a suburb of Kingston upon Hull, in the East Riding of Yorkshire, England. At the time of the 1891 census, Sydney worked as a monumental sculptor's apprentice. By 1901, the family had moved to Battersea, London, where his father was employed as a builder's clerk. Sydney studied at the Royal Academy Schools. He was the second of nine children, eight of whom became artists. Sydney and his siblings established studios at the family home of Goddendene in Locksbottom, Farnborough after 1901. The seven acre grounds had not only three large studios, but also a metal foundry. The studio walls could be slid back, such that the artists could work in natural daylight. Sydney March died at age 92 in the second quarter of 1968 in the county of Kent, England. Most of the members of the March family, including parents George and Elizabeth, are interred at Saint Giles the Abbot Churchyard in Farnborough, Kent, England.
