Vintage Midwest Leo R. Smith Figure. #2 out of 1500. Measures about 10.25" in height by 8.5" wide. Very good condition.
An exceptionally rare and beautiful find for the serious collector, this is the "Peaceable Kingdom" figurine by renowned American folk artist Leo R. Smith. This is the highly coveted number 2 from a limited edition of only 1500 pieces, produced by Midwest of Cannon Falls in the 1990s.
This substantial figurine is a high-quality resin reproduction of Smith's original wood carving, capturing every detail of his celebrated style. The piece depicts the classic biblical theme from Isaiah, with a serene, winged angel holding a gentle lamb while seated upon a majestic lion. The artistry masterfully mimics the look of carved and painted wood, with wonderful texture in the angel's wings, the lion's mane, and the folds of the angel's gown.
The bottom is marked with the limited edition number: 2/1500. A number this low is almost never seen on the secondary market and represents a premier collectible piece.
This figurine is in very good vintage condition with no significant issues to note. It would be the ultimate centerpiece for a collection of Leo R. Smith's work or American folk art. It also serves as a meaningful and beautiful piece of year-round inspirational decor and would be an unforgettable gift for a collector, a pastor, or anyone who cherishes the "Peaceable Kingdom" message of harmony.
This item is vintage, over 30 years old. While it appears to be in very good condition, there may be minor imperfections that I missed.
