Figural Patinated Bronze Sculpture of Two Ballet Dancers, One Winged

An elegant antique-style patinated bronze figural sculpture depicting two female ballet dancers intertwined in an expressive dance. The composition captures the figures in motion, balancing gracefully on a circular stepped bronze base.

One dancer is portrayed with large feathered wings, lending the composition an allegorical or fantastical quality, while her companion raises her arms overhead in a classical ballet pose. Both figures wear detailed flowing tutus and ballet slippers, with finely modeled facial features, hair, hands and costumes.

The sculptor has created a particularly dynamic composition, with the dancers’ overlapping bodies, outstretched arms and sweeping skirts giving the sculpture a wonderful sense of movement, intimacy and theatrical drama. The bronze retains a rich, naturally varied dark brown patina with warmer highlights across the raised surfaces.

A striking decorative bronze for a console, pedestal, library or art collection, particularly appealing to collectors of figurative sculpture, ballet and dance-related works.

Circa Mid 20th Century
