Wyland Happy Dolphin Lucite Acrylic Sculpture Ltd Ed 490/1500 Signed 8

  

WYLAND "HAPPY DOLPHIN" LIMITED EDITION LUCITE SCULPTURE - 490/1500. A striking and exceptionally well-preserved limited-edition marine-life sculpture by internationally recognized ocean artist Wyland. Commonly identified as "Happy Dolphin, " this dramatic three-dimensional work captures a dolphin suspended within a substantial, crystal-clear Lucite/acrylic form, creating the illusion of movement beneath the ocean's surface. The sculpture changes beautifully with the surrounding light and viewing angle. Its polished transparent body refracts and reflects light around the embedded dolphin, giving the piece a luminous, almost weightless appearance.

The combination of realistic marine imagery, modern sculptural design, and substantial scale makes it an impressive statement piece for a luxury coastal interior, private art collection, executive office, yacht, beach residence, or upscale ocean-themed décor. This is a genuine numbered limited edition, individually marked 490 of only 1,500 produced. The base also bears Wyland's etched signature. With retired Wyland Lucite sculptures becoming increasingly difficult to locate-especially in pristine condition-this is an outstanding opportunity for the serious Wyland collector or marine-art enthusiast.
