AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

This beautifully finely chased, fire-gilded, full-bronze sculpture "The Ball Dancer" on a marble plinth by the artist Hippolyte Emile Louis Fournier (1853-1926) is in used, uncleaned, age-appropriate excellent condition with minor signs of wear consistent with age and with minimal patina loss, without cracks or restorations.
Also the marble plinth is in good condition, with a few barely visible micro-cracks.
The original sculpture of a naked girl with the ball from the Art Nouveau era is very finely crafted and signed by the artist on the plinth with Fournier, which speaks to the high quality of this bronze.
The high-quality bronze and the appealing motif make it a valuable work of art that exudes a special charm in any room. A must for all art lovers and collectors. Very rare sculpture by the artist.
