Ease and composure emanate from this Pierre Le Faguays(1802-1925) Art Deco nude sculpture. It's a wonderfully designed and executed work of art, from the delicately poised stance of the dancer with one leg raised in front of her on pointed toe to the complexity of the wreath of flowers stretching from arm to arm. Her angelic face rests to the side in complete concentration. Pierre Le Faguays was born in Nantes, France and became famous for the originality and grace he gave his dancers, many of which were inspired by the statues of Tanagra. He was awarded a medal of honor for his work in 1927. Cast in bronze, the black marble base features a nice complementary design at the bottom. The base is signed "Pierre Faguay."
