Humpty Dumpty

” Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall
Humpty DUmpty had a great fall
All the kings horses and all the king’s men
Couldn’t put humpty together again”

The sculpture you’ve shown is a creative and whimsical interpretation of the character Humpty Dumpty. Paul Lotz, the artist, has crafted this piece from bronze, imbuing it with a sense of timelessness and durability that contrasts with the character’s famous fragility. The figure is depicted in a seated position, with exaggerated limbs and facial features that express alarm or surprise, enhancing the narrative of the impending fall. Humpty is adorned with a striped outfit, and his hands are clasped in front as if to brace for impact. A bowtie adds a touch of sophistication. The sculpture rests on a plinth featuring a partial brick wall, from which a piece of paper unfurls, possibly alluding to the fall or the king’s men’s failure to reassemble him. This playful yet poignant piece would make a striking conversation starter in any setting, offering both a touch of humor and a reminder of the cautionary tale it represents.
