Yvonne Piller - Head of a small dog on a pedestal
Signed on the sculpture.
This bronze sculpture by Yvonne Piller depicts the expressive head of a small dog, modeled with a rich and vibrant texture that beautifully emphasizes its characteristic coat. The fine modeling convincingly brings out the animal's alert, friendly gaze, making the portrait both playful and loving.
The dark patina deepens the shadows and gives the bronze a warm, natural look. The subtle nuances of color allow light to play beautifully across the forms and enhance the animal's soft expression. The head rests on a sleek, square natural stone base, which provides stability, contrast, and an elegant presentation.
Despite its modest size, the sculpture has a striking presence thanks to its strong formal language and attention to detail. It's a charming and characterful animal portrait that clearly reflects the love and refinement of Piller's craftsmanship. A perfect work of art for lovers of animal figures and expressive figurative bronze.

About the artist: Yvonne Piller
Yvonne Piller (1955)is a Dutch sculptor known for her expressive figurative bronzes that evoke human emotion and inner strength. Born in the southern Netherlands, she developed as an artist with a strong focus on posture, gesture, and subtle body language. Her sculptures often depict female figures in quiet or reflective moments, where the essence of the gesture is more important than detail. Piller works with soft lines, rounded volumes, and tactile modeling, giving her sculptures a warm and direct feel. The patinas are carefully constructed and enhance the poetic and timeless atmosphere of her work. In addition to human figures, she also creates animal sculptures in which the same sensitivity and fluid formal language are evident. Her oeuvre is prized by collectors for its combination of accessible craftsmanship and emotional depth. Yvonne Piller has thus acquired a recognizable place within contemporary Dutch figurative sculpture.
