Prisoner Of Love, A Rare Post ERTE Bronze Statue On Marble Base, Signed

Prisoner Of Love, After ERTE Bronze Statue On Marble Base, Signed. Total size: 10" x 4.5" x H 13". About: A fabulous 20th Century Art Deco bronze figural group entitled Prisoner of Love by Erte, Romain de Tirtoff, modelled as a beautiful young woman in long stockings chained to a classical column overlooked by a kneeling figure of cupid with bow and arrow, raised on integral oval plinth with classical frieze. This sculpture, inspired by the design of the letter K of my alphabet series, was at first considered too erotic, but it has proven very successful. It represents a woman in ecstasy, chained to a column on top of which is a statue of Cupid. Her hair has the appearance of flames of passion. Her lace gloves and stockings are all that remain of her clothes. In one way or another, we are all prisoners of love. The woman's chain symbolises both her captivity and the excitement of being bound to someone or something we love dearly (This is a descriptive narrative written by the artist in his book Erte Sculpture).
