Edgar Degas (1834-1917) - after - Sculpture

A particularly decorative bronze sculpture of a young ballerina, executed after the world-famous work La Petite Danseuse de Quatorze Ans by Edgar Degas (1834–1917). The dancer is depicted in the characteristic elegant pose: head held high, hands behind the back and one leg relaxed forward. Especially the refined details in the face, the hair with a bow, the snug bodice and the richly pleated skirt give the sculpture a strong presence. The bronze has a beautiful dark brown, warm patina, with the higher parts subtly highlighted. This beautifully emphasizes the modeling and the different textures. On the bronze base is the signature “Degas”. In addition the piece is fitted with a round bronze plaque/stamp with, among other things, “Bronze Garanti Paris” and “JB Déposé”. These markings are clearly shown in the photos. The whole stands on a heavy black marble/natural stone pedestal with light veining, which contrasts nicely with the warm bronze. A very atmospheric art object that comes into its own in both a classical and modern interior and, due to the recognizable subject, particularly attractive for lovers of figurative bronze sculptures and ballet.
