Jacques Limousin - Sculpture, Femme élégante au fauve - 45 cm - Spelter - 1930

Remarkable and sublime Art Deco-era sculpture (circa 1930) by the famous French sculptor Jacques Limousin. The work features a slender female silhouette, perfectly characteristic of the Roaring Twenties aesthetics, wearing a strictly garçonne bob. • The work on the dress and its motifs: The young woman is clothed in a form-fitting and draped dress that closely follows her curves. It is enhanced by exquisite floral and geometric golden motifs delicately distributed over the entire surface of the dress. The sculptor attended to every detail, from the plunging bare back to the fluid folds extending down to her bare feet. • The scene: With her right hand, she makes a graceful gesture toward a young feline (panther or puma) standing on its hind legs, jaws open in a stance that is both lively and theatrical. • Signature: Clearly signed “Limousin” on the base of the drapery. • Patina and materials: The régule bears a nuanced patina of original origin, blending silvery tones, deep browns and luminous golden highlights that bring out the motifs of the dress. The whole rests on a heavy and elegant veined marble base in rosy/cherry tones. • Dimensions: 45.5 cm in height with its base (a sizeable, rare and sought-after format for this type of piece). • Condition: Very fine original condition, endowed with an authentic and warm patina.
