Bronze Figure “Little Dancer after Degas” on Black Marble - olive-brown - H. 38,2 cm
Item number 138536
A tribute to Degas’s famous “Little Dancer Aged Fourteen”, interpreted in bronze.
In fourth position, hands joined behind her back, chin lifted and eyes half shut, the girl holds her pose with composure. On a piano, in a ballet studio or by a reading chair she tells of discipline and grace. A present for ballet enthusiasts and admirers of Impressionism.

Craftsmanship
The lost-wax method yields the solid casting; everything after that is handwork. The buttoned bodice, pleated tulle skirt and ballet slippers are faithfully rendered, with the olive-brown patina deepening the folds. The signed plinth sits on a rectangular block of black marble.
Care
Remove dust with a soft brush or a dry cloth. Avoid cleaning agents so that the patina stays intact.
