Patinated bronze dancer sculpture after Degas – JB Paris edition on a black base – 38 cm - 5.4 kg
Inspired by the universe of Edgar Degas' famous studies of dancers, this elegant patinated bronze sculpture depicts a young ballerina in a posture that is both graceful and contemplative, her chin raised towards the sky, her hands delicately clasped behind her back.
The work immediately captivates with the balance of its composition and the finesse of its modeling. The slender silhouette, the proud carriage of the neck, the subtle tension of the legs, and the natural movement of the tutu accurately convey the fascination for the body in motion that made Degas famous.
The quality of the casting reveals beautiful detailed work, both in the folds of the garment and in the treatment of anatomical volumes. Its nuanced brown patina brings depth and warmth to the whole, while its black base elegantly highlights the silhouette and enhances its decorative presence.
The sculpture bears a Degas signature, accompanied by a foundry mark Bronze Garanti Paris – JB Déposée, as well as the serial number A7720, testifying to a beautiful quality contemporary decorative edition.
With its harmonious proportions (38 cm high for 5.4 kg), this sculpture will naturally find its place on a desk, console, bookshelf or in a refined interior combining art, design and pieces of character.
