Description
These fine, antique, sculpted figures in silvered bronze depict two dancing female figures in the classical, allegorical style. A putto skips merrily at their feet, and the figure on the right holds aloft a tambourine. The figures stand on a naturalistic circular base and are set on a red marble plinth. The grouping exhibits a striking level of classicism in the flowing, swathed dress of the figures, the styled, bound hair of the women, and the musculature of the figures.
Signed 'L. Gregoire' on the base, with foundry 'Bernoux. E=Ax' and numbered '2467.'
