Original Soviet Bust of Vladimir Lenin – USSR, ca. 1960s–1980s – Height 21 cm
An impressive vintage Soviet metal bust of Vladimir Ilyich Lenin (1870–1924), based on a sculptural model by Nikolai Akimovich Teplov (1923–1984), a professional Soviet sculptor and member of the Union of Artists of the USSR.
The sculpture bears the artist's name, "Н. Теплов" (N. Teplov), cast in relief on the reverse, an important detail that distinguishes this piece from anonymous Soviet decorative busts and adds to its artistic and collectible appeal.
ABOUT THE SCULPTOR
Nikolai Teplov studied at the Penza Art School and later graduated from the prestigious Ilya Repin Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture in Leningrad, where he studied from 1948 to 1954.
His artistic legacy includes monuments dedicated to Vladimir Lenin and Sergei Kirov, the historical composition "Decree on Land", and a sculpture of the famous Russian commander Alexander Suvorov, reproduced by the renowned Kasli Artistic Casting Foundry from 1964.
Teplov's works reflect the traditions of Soviet monumental and realist portrait sculpture. His Lenin portrait models are also associated with the Leningrad Monument-Sculpture Foundry and Soviet artistic casting of the late 1970s.
ARTISTIC AND HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE
This expressive bust portrays Lenin with a concentrated, thoughtful expression. The carefully modelled forehead, deeply defined eyes, prominent cheekbones, distinctive moustache and pointed beard create a powerful and remarkably lifelike portrait.
The silver-grey metallic finish beautifully highlights the sculptural details, while the carefully executed profile and clothing demonstrate the artist's attention to realism and anatomical precision.
Beyond its decorative qualities, the sculpture represents a fascinating piece of Soviet history. Portraits of Lenin were an integral part of Soviet political and cultural life, and today they remain historical artefacts reflecting the artistic traditions and visual identity of the USSR.
With its identifiable sculptural authorship, expressive workmanship and attractive compact form, this bust is a distinctive collectible for enthusiasts of Soviet memorabilia, historical sculpture and 20th-century art.
