Description
Enthralling recast bronze sculpture by renown French sculptor, Pierre Le Faguays 1892–1962. Faguays was known for his sculptures of expressive dancers and often used the pseudonym, A. Fayral. He studied at the Salon of Paris and was awarded the French Medal of Honor for his work in 1927. This is a stunning piece that was cast likely in the 1960's. It impressively stands over 2 feet tall and weighs over 17 pounds. Depicts a ballerina balancing on her toes with arms outstretched and features a gorgeous green verdigris on the top of her tutu and the fabric behind her. The bronze sits on a solid black marble base with white veins, and it is lined with felt on the underside. Faguays's signature is incised into the bronze near the front foot. Incredible details in the every part of the sculpture are sure to enchant any viewer. Perfect piece of art for a ballerina or anyone who appreciates the ballet. Will be carefully packaged with plenty of materials to help ensure its safe arrival at its new home. Please message me if you have any questions.
