Description fournie par le vendeur
A work of absolute rarity and masterful execution, the very epitome of "Élégance française."
This 19.5 cm tall statuette in pure white porcelain biscuit captures the suspended grace of a young Belle Époque woman in motion. This model, with its exceptional sculptural finesse, stands out radically from mass-produced pieces and stands out as a unique display piece.
The matte, velvety, and immaculate texture of the unglazed porcelain biscuit gives this sculpture the noble and precious appearance of Carrara marble. The absence of artifice or modern gilding reinforces its authenticity and artistic value.
The Striking Contrast of the Patinated Base: The statue rests on a molded circular metal base with a superb patina acquired over time. This combination of the white biscuit and the dark base creates a striking relief that beautifully catches the light in the display case.
Museum-Quality Anatomical Details: The flowing drape of the dress, the graceful movement of the arms, and the exquisitely delicate positioning of the fingers (holding the skirt with infinite lightness) testify to the work of a great master sculptor of the Art Nouveau period.
Finding a biscuit porcelain sculpture of this quality, having survived the decades in such perfect condition, is a rare event on the international market. Its visual magnetism and timeless elegance make it a sound investment. It will immediately become the centerpiece of your collection or prestigious home.
Material: Pure, high-quality white porcelain biscuit
Base: Original period patinated metal base
Total Height: 19,5 cm
Marking: Numbered 499, engraved on the back within the drape of the dress
In good condition, with some age-related stains, see photos.
Carefully packaged and shipped with tracking.
