About the Item

Leda and the Swan Sculpture by Gabriel Beauvais, France, 1920s. This striking and rare sculpture, titled Leda and the Swan, was created by the French artist Gabriel Beauvais in the 1920s. Crafted from terracotta with a beautiful crackle glaze ceramic finish, this piece was produced by Kaza Edition in Paris and is featured in the book Craquelés Art Deco by Alain Hardy and Bruno Gilardi (Editions Penthesilla, 2009, page 72). The sculpture is a rare and exceptional example of Art Deco craftsmanship, showcasing the elegance and sensuality of this iconic mythological scene. Dimensions: Width: 17.5" (44.5 cm) Height: 14.5" (36.8 cm) Depth: 7.8" (19.7 cm) The sculpture is signed "G. Beauvais" and marked "France" on the base (as seen in the photos). It remains in very good condition with only a small bite on the bottom edge of the base, which does not detract from its overall beauty and rarity. This piece is an important example of 1930s French Art Deco sculpture, combining classical mythology with the signature style and craftsmanship of Beauvais. It represents a remarkable opportunity for collectors of fine Art Deco ceramics and sculptures.
