This impressive French Art Deco sculpture, created circa 1930, depicts a stylized huntress accompanied by a leaping antelope. With its dramatic movement, elongated forms, and striking geometric composition, the work exemplifies the fascination with exotic subjects that influenced French decorative arts during the interwar period. Scenes inspired by Africa and France’s former colonial territories became especially prominent in the late 1920s and early 1930s. This artistic trend reached its height during the 1931 Paris International Colonial Exhibition, which had a significant impact on French architecture, sculpture, furniture, and interior decoration. Viewed today within its historical context, this sculpture reflects both the visual language of the Art Deco period and the colonial imagery widely circulated in France at the time. The finely modeled female figure is rendered in spelter and presented in an energetic hunting pose, holding a bow beside the antelope. The dark patinated metal contrasts beautifully with the substantial stepped base, composed of richly veined marble and warm-toned onyx. The combination of sculptural metalwork and luxurious stone gives the piece a commanding architectural presence. The sculpture measures approximately 82 cm wide, 54 cm high, and 21 cm deep, equivalent to 32.3 inches wide, 21.2 inches high, and 8.2 inches deep. It weighs approximately 21.6 kilograms, or 47.6 pounds. The piece remains highly decorative and displays age-related wear consistent with its history. Small chips and losses are visible along the edges of the marble and onyx base. A bold and substantial French Art Deco huntress sculpture...
