Duo of dancers in patinated bronze on black marble – 17 cm
This patinated bronze statuette represents two elongated figures united in a movement of dance or acrobatics. The bodies, treated with a deliberately nervous and irregular modeling, lean and extend their arms in a dynamic composition. They rest on a large curved element evoking a ribbon, a wave, or a choreographic movement. The brown-black patina features golden nuances in places that highlight the reliefs. The whole piece rests on a rectangular base made of black marble veined with white. Unsigned, this sculpture belongs to an expressionist and modernist figurative aesthetic, likely from the second half of the 20th century or a more recent production. Height: 17 cm. Width: 12 cm. Depth: 6 cm. Weight: 560 g. Overall good condition. Signs of use and scratches, particularly under the base, with localized wear of the patina. The sculpture is secured to the marble by a single central screw and can thus pivot slightly on its support. An expressive composition to display on a console, a bookshelf, or a contemporary desk.
