Superb gilt bronze sculpture depicting a dancer wearing buskins. The sculpture captures a frozen moment of movement, with the dancer appearing to be in motion, her long dress and ample sleeves swirling around her. This work is often praised for its fluidity and is considered one of the emblematic sculptures of the Art Nouveau period. Our example features perfect chasing and magnificent original gilding. It bears the Susse foundry mark in Paris, the signature A Leonard Sculptor, and the foundry reference initial A M.
