About the Item

This silvered bronze sculpture, titled "Danseuse chantant" or "Singing Dancer," by Agathon Léonard, features a woman dancing, inspired by the American actress and dancer, Loïe Fuller. The serenity of the dancer's expression counters the vivacious movement implied by the structure of her beautifully layered robes. This figural sculpture is one of "Le jeu d'écharpe," or "The Scarf Set," originally produced and cast by Sèvres, and was awarded a Gold Medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. The series was later cast in bronze by the Susse Frères foundry, with special limited editions in silvered bronze, such as this figure. Artist: Agathon Léonard Circa: 1900 Dimensions: 20" height, 12" width, 7" depth Materials: Silvered bronze Signed: “A. Leonard sclp," stamped with the Susse Freres foundry mark, and the letter “M” Literature: Similar figural sculpture model is pictured in Agathon Léonard: Le Geste Art Nouveau, by Ingelore Boestge, Somogy editions d'art, Paris 2003, p. 62, plate 35 Provenance: Elizabeth Taylor
