Somerset-based sculptor Laura Lian has created a portrait bust of Ella Fitzgerald in a new limited edition series of bronzes.

A portion of the proceeds from the sales of the 12 busts each weighing 8kg is destined for the coffers of the Ella Fitzgerald Charitable Foundation, a charity the singer established in 1993 just three years before her death at the age of 79. Prices start at £6,500.
