'Bat Girl', Viennese Art Déco Bronze Dancer by Josef Lorenzl c. 1915/1920

About the Item

The petite dancer with short curly hair combed up high at the back balances on tiptoe, her upper body turned to the right and her arms stretched out horizontally from her body. She is wearing a short dress with batwing sleeves that extends in a semi-circular cape from one wrist over her hips to the other wrist. The entire bronze is silver-plated, with the lower hem of the dress dissolved into dots, some of which are cold-painted. The figure is based on a small round, slightly convex bronze plinth, which is screwed onto a tall, brownish-yellow marble base, cylindrical in shape with beveled edges and indented walls. Signed 'Lorenzl' on the upper side of the bronze base at the back. Excellent and detailed quality of execution, very lifelike representation, as is typical of Viennese bronze art. Designed by JOSEF LORENZL (1892-1950), an Austrian sculptor. His statuettes often show graceful dancers with long legs and closed eyes. Lorenzl also designed ceramics for Friedrich Goldscheider and Keramos. He was one of the most popular artists of Art Déco.
