David the Gnome

David the Gnome was the creation of Dutch artist and sculptor Rien Poortvliet (1932-1995). He is known around the world for the creation of his book on Gnomes. This was turned into an animated TV series in 1985. www.youtube.com/watch?v=igUDdBLRm-w

 

This sculpture of David the Gnome was actually one of six made to promote the series. We purchased it at auction after it was sold by a previous owner from Miami, Florida. So David has travelled the world.
