Agathon Léonard "Danseuse Tambourin à Droite" Silvered Bronze Figural Sculpture

About the Item

This silvered bronze figural sculpture, "La danse du tambourin, tete penchée à droite," or "Tambourine dance, head leaning to the right," by Agathon Léonard, features a woman dancing and playing a tambourine, inspired by the American actress and dance, Loïe Fuller, exhibiting exquisite fluid drapery with her joyfully flowing sleeves. This figural sculpture is one of "Le jeu d'écharpe," or "The Scarf Set," originally produced and cast by Sèvres, and was awarded a Gold Medal at the 1900 Paris Exposition Universelle. The series was later cast in bronze by the Susse Frères foundry, with special limited editions in silvered bronze, such as this figure.
