VINTAGE LARGE ART DECO DANCER BALLERINA BRONZE FIGURE SCULPTURE SIGNED HOME DECO

This stunning early 20th-century French reproduction bronze sculpture by Henri (Enrique) Molins-Balleste (1893-1958) beautifully captures the essence of the Art Deco era. Depicting an iconic dancer in motion, with one leg kicked upward and arms gracefully extended, the sculpture exudes elegance and dynamism. Despite wearing only an undergarment, the dancer's movement radiates grace and sophistication, showcasing Molins-Balleste's mastery in capturing the spirit of the era. The sculpture's meticulous attention to detail is evident in the fine facial features and subtle muscular definition of the dancer's body, including her stomach, knees, back, and spine. Her bobbed hairdo, reminiscent of the Flapper style synonymous with the Roaring Twenties, adds a touch of authenticity and charm to the piece. Patinated with a handsome brown color and mounted on a tiered square base crafted from black marble, the sculpture exudes luxury and refinement. Signed by the artist on the base, it stands as a testament to Molins-Balleste's talent and craftsmanship, capturing the beauty and dynamism of the Art Deco era in exquisite detail.
