About
This small nude bisque porcelain figurine was designed by the renowned French sculptor Theodore Riviere and made by Sevres in 1921 in the period Art Deco style. The figurine is of a famed Ancient Greek prostitute known as 'Phyrne' who gained fame for reportedly flashing her breasts in a courtroom and being found innocent of the charges. The figurine is clearly signed on the top of the pedestal base with the maker's mark for Sevres and the impressed signature of Theodore Riviere.Details
