One of the most popular and elegant models produced by the goldscheider manufactory vienna: the dance 'der gefangene vogel' - 'the captured bird' - performed by the dancer niddy impekoven (1904-2002) in the early twenties of the 20th century is shown: the dancer, balancing on tiptoe, takes a big step with her arms raised forwards and backwards. She wears a short, translucent brown dance dress with brown, blue, yellow and black patterned bat sleeves, the structure of which is reminiscent of butterfly wings. The brown headgear of the slender, elegant dancer almost completely covers her hair, a flower vase set aside serves as a support. On a black, fluted, stepped oval base. Designed by josef lorenzl (1892 - 1950), was an austrian sculptor and ceramic modeler. His bronze statuettes often show graceful dancers with long legs and closed eyes.
