Rene Lalique (France, 1860-1945), Suzanne Glass Statuette

1925, molded opalescent glass with satin finish, polished underside etched "R. Lalique France No. 833."
8 7/8 x 7 1/4 x 2 in.
Lalique has mastered the use of varying thicknesses with the coloration of the opalescent glass in this sculpture, where light creates a fiery-peach coloration in the figure's body against the whiteish-blue hues of her open robe.

While unclear as to the inspiration behind this glass work of art, Rene's daughter, Suzanne, would have been 33 at the time this was produced and helped design works with her father and continued making art of her own throughout her lifetime in various mediums.
From the Estate of the late Robin Satinsky, Donglomur, Villanova, Pennsylvania
