About the Item
Titled "La danse du tambourin, tête penchée à gauche" (or "The tambourine dance, head leaning to the left"), from the artist's series "Le jeu d'écharpe," this French Art Nouveau bisque ceramic sculpture by the great master Agathon Léonard hearkens back to the Renaissance sculptors of lore, who turned marble into flesh and fabric, just as Léonard does here with ceramic. Featuring a woman draped in stunningly rendered, rich cloth dress who holds a tambourine high above her head, her face turned away from the viewer as we catch her mid-motion, about to turn dramatically over her left shoulder.

Macklowe Gallery's Curator's Notes:
"Le jeu d'écharpe," a series created by Agathon Léonard at the turn of the 20th century inspired by the dancer Loïe Fuller, consists of fifteen sculptures of young women in various poses. Some women dance with scarves, while others hold musical instruments or carry flaming torches, but each of the fifteen dancers is unique in terms of her pose, hair style, and dress.
