Mid-20th Century French Bronze Dancer Figurine, Modernist Style, 1950s–1960s
About the Item
A mid-20th century Chinese bronze figurine depicting a stylized dancer in a dynamic pose, with one leg raised and arms gracefully extended, capturing the fluidity of movement. The abstract form features elongated limbs, a simplified torso, and a minimalistic head, emphasizing balance over detail. Cast in bronze with a dark patina, it showcases smooth, flowing lines typical of the mid-century modern style. Standing approximately 32cm tall on a circular bronze base, the figurine is in good condition, with a natural patina and minor wear consistent with age, such as slight pitting and discolouration that enhance its antique charm.

19th Century Bronze Sculpture of Joan of Arc by Adrien Étienne Gaudez, Signed
By Adrien Étienne Gaudez
Located in Tonbridge, Kent
19th Century Bronze Sculpture of Joan of Arc by Adrien Étienne Gaudez, Signed, 61.5 cm
Description:
This exceptional 19th-century bronze sculpture, titled Jeanne d’Arc portant son étendard (Joan of Arc Carrying Her Standard), is a masterful work by the renowned French sculptor Adrien Étienne Gaudez (1845-1902). Standing at an impressive 61.5 cm (24.2 inches) in height, this piece captures the heroic essence of Joan of Arc, also known as "The Maid of Orléans," in a dynamic and emotive composition.
Gaudez depicts Joan of Arc in full armor, her right arm triumphantly raising a banner inscribed with intricate detailing, while her left hand gestures forward, symbolizing leadership and resolve. The flowing drapery of her skirt and the textured standard add a sense of movement, showcasing Gaudez’s meticulous attention to detail—a hallmark of his work often described as "photographic representationism." The sculpture is signed by the artist on the base, which also features a cartouche with the inscription "Jeanne d’Arc, 1894," adding historical context to this piece.
Crafted during the late 19th century, a period when Joan of Arc was celebrated as a symbol of French patriotism, this sculpture reflects Gaudez’s skill in blending classical themes with the emerging Art Nouveau style. Gaudez, a pupil of François Jouffroy at the École des Beaux-Arts, was a celebrated sculptor who exhibited at the Paris Salon and won numerous accolades, including gold medals at the Exposition Universelle of 1889 and 1900. His works are held in prestigious collections worldwide, including museums in Valence, Louviers, and Clermont-Ferrand.
Condition:
The sculpture is in excellent condition for its age, with a rich, dark patina that enhances its intricate details. Minor wear consistent with age and use, including slight rubbing on the banner, which remains securely attached. The base is stable, with no significant damage or repairs noted.
Dimensions:
- Height: 61.5 cm (24.2 inches)
- Base Diameter: 15 cm (5.9 inches)
Provenance:
Acquired from a private French estate, this piece has been carefully preserved and comes with a certificate of authenticity.
Shipping:
Global shipping available. The sculpture will be professionally packaged to ensure safe delivery. Please contact us for a shipping quote tailored to your location.
Why We Love It:
This bronze is a rare opportunity to own a signed work by Adrien Étienne Gaudez, capturing a pivotal historical figure through the lens of 19th-century French artistry. Perfect for collectors of fine sculpture, historical art, or those seeking a statement piece for a sophisticated interior.
