Description
This exquisite sculpture captures the dynamic energy and elegant form characteristic of the Art Deco era (circa 1920s-1930s). The piece depicts a female dancer, often referred to as a "Hoop Girl," poised dynamically on one foot while gracefully maneuvering a large ring or hoop above her head.
Key Features:
- Material: The figure is cast in solid bronze using the traditional lost-wax method, ensuring high quality and intricate detail. It is finished with a warm, rich brown patina that accentuates the flowing lines of the sculpture.
- Design: The dancer is portrayed in a stylized, athletic pose, complete with a detailed feathered headdress, which adds to the piece's sophisticated flair. The clean lines and expressive form embody the glamour and movement of the period.
- Base: The sculpture is securely mounted on a sleek, round or stepped marble or onyx base, which is typical for this style and provides stability and an elegant contrast to the metal figure.
- Dimensions: H:35in W:7in
