This is one stunning, breath-taking work of art. A gilt and patinaed bronze statue of a female Russian dancer that is not only impeccably and minutely detailed but is virtually terpsichorean in and of itself. Like some of the greatest sculptures, this decorative object d'art has life and movement. This lovely smiling goddess-like Russian dancer stands on a platform of truly gorgeous stepped and contrasting marble slabs a full 16" tall.
