Description
A bronze reproduction sculpture of La petite danseuse de 14 ans (The Little Fourteen-Year-Old Dancer), after the 1881 original by Edgar Degas. The figure is cast in bronze with a dark brown patina, depicting a young ballerina in a standing pose with her hands clasped behind her back. The sculpture is mounted on a square integral bronze base, which is set upon a two-tier black rectangular plinth. A gold-toned metal plaque is fixed to the front of the plinth, bearing the transcription: La petite danseuse de 14 ans – 1881 / reproduction en bronze / d’après l’oeuvre de Degas. The piece is housed in its original black cardboard presentation box featuring a black satin-style lining.
Condition report:
