A bronze sculpture after the original design by Demetre Chiparus (1886 to 1947), depicting a female dancer in a dynamic Art Deco pose. The figure is shown leaning forward with her arms outstretched and palms facing outwards. She is dressed in elaborate theatrical attire, featuring a textured conical headdress, beaded jewellery across the chest and hips, and a long pleated skirt that drapes down to an integral bronze base. The bronze exhibits a dark brown patina throughout. The sculpture is mounted on a substantial rectangular black marble plinth with white veining. The bronze base bears the incised signature Chiparus to one corner. This work is a later casting inspired by the exotic themes of the early 20th century Ballets Russes.
Dimensions: Not provided.
Condition report:
The sculpture is in good overall condition. There are minor traces of surface dust and light wear to the dark brown patina consistent with age. The marble plinth appears structurally sound with no significant chips or cracks observed. No visible repairs or restorations are present.
