This stunning bronze is number 13 of an edition of 24 sculptures released by noted sculptor J. Paul Nesse to celebrate René Dreyfus’ victory in the 1930 Monaco Grand Prix. The sculpture depicts Dreyfus rounding a corner at speed, with clouds of dust billowing off the wheels. This is a dynamic and extremely realistic work of art, as even the smallest detail was approached with true artistry, down to the expression on Dreyfus’ face. It is a triumphant example of automotive art, and it is in excellent condition. This sculpture, complete with a certificate of authenticity signed by the sculptor and René Dreyfus, is a wonderful way to pay tribute to his unforgettable victory, one that is fittingly immortalized in Nesse’s “European Champions” series.
