Dancer “Handstand” in Bronze on Black Marble - hammered surface - H. 30,2 cm

Upside down with legs spread wide: the cheekiest figure in the dancer series.

Legs reaching skywards and head hovering just above the ground, her rounded forms are quite literally turned on their head. Slim and tall, she fits any shelf and raises a smile in a study, a home gym or a living room.

At a glance

Craftsmanship

Once cast in a lost mould, the bronze passes to the chaser and finally receives a hand-applied patina. Hammer-like textures run across the figure and break the light on the bronze-brown patina. Black marble in a square, topped by a slim bronze plinth, forms the base.

Care

A dry microfibre cloth is enough for regular care. Because the patina is applied by hand, each example turns out slightly different.
