Product description
Important polychrome bronze sculpture depicting a young dancer, inspired by Edgar Degas's famous ballet studies.
This work is a 20th-century decorative edition, based on Degas's Little Dancer of Fourteen Years.
It bears the artist's signature as a tribute, as well as an Austrian foundry mark, "Bronze – A.B – Austria," attesting to its high-quality European production.
The sculpture is particularly distinguished by its deliberate polychromy, featuring:
a bodice in light, patinated tones,
a textured, warm brown skirt, and
subtle gilt highlights on the costume and shoes.
This well-preserved polychrome treatment enhances the work's visual presence and clearly sets it apart from the much more common uniformly brown casts.
The piece rests on a bronze and veined marble base, providing stability, elegance, and a strong decorative impact.
