This spectacular early 20th c French reproduction bronze was made by Henri (Enrique) Molins-Balleste (1893-1958). It depicts an iconic Art deco dancer in motion with one of her legs kicked upward and one hand to each side. The nude dancer wears only an undergarment, yet exhibits such grace in her movement. Notice the fine detail to her face and the subtle muscular definition of her body - her stomach, knees, back and spine. Her bobbed hairdo is certainly reminiscent of the Flapper style. The bronze is patinated with a handsome brown color. The sculpture is further enhanced by the tiered square base, combining black marble . The piece is signed on the base Balleste Condition : This sculpture is in perfect condition.
