Josef or Joseph Lorenzl is one of the most collected, popular and prolific sculptors known during the Art Deco period. His work is very high quality and synonymous with the style we attribute to and so specifically call Art Deco. This piece particularly has quite a unique posture, showing the nude ballet dancer in motion. This is a wonderful example of the artist's work, it is bronze, the style is fluid, the finger, hands and feet have incredible detail, as does the hair and her lovely face. The is a very graceful Art Deco lady and certainly would look stunning in your proper place. Maybe best known for the scarf dancer, but he has executed many stylized bronzes, represented in just about every book on Art Deco. He also is well known for his work in ceramic for the Goldscheider company. This piece was recently released from a personal collection kept for over 25 years. Measurements: 12" T x 4" W x 4" D
