Lucien Charles Edouard Alliot’s 1920s bronze sculpture captures the fluid elegance of a female dancer mid-performance, poised with outstretched arms and one elevated foot, holding a ball aloft. The finely crafted figure, cast in patinated bronze, exhibits the artist's mastery in capturing the human form with dynamic motion. The smooth, polished surfaces of the dancer contrast with the rough texture of the marble base, creating a harmonious balance of form and material. Alliot’s skillful metalwork and molding techniques are evident in the fine details of the figure’s musculature, while the naturalistic patina enhances the sense of movement and grace. The author's signature can be found at the base.

A notable example of French Art Déco, this work reflects Alliot's renowned ability to breathe life into metal, showcasing his celebrated precision in portraying human figures. less
