Eustace Tilley, the enduring dandy of The New Yorker, first appeared on the magazine’s inaugural cover in 1925. Created by Rea Irvin, and inspired in part by a character from The Making of Americans, he has since become an emblem of wit, refinement, and quiet observation. With his top hat, monocle, and butterfly, Tilley continues to represent the magazine’s distinctive voice and sensibility.

This hand-painted 3D portrait is a contemporary interpretation of that iconic figure. Each sculpture measures approximately 290 mm in height and is individually modelled, printed, and carefully finished by hand—resulting in a bespoke object rather than a mass-produced item.
