The elongated silhouette of the young dancer is complemented by the flowing movement of ribbons that seem to continue her gesture. The gilded bronze costume contrasts with pale ivory, a combination characteristic of chryselephantine sculpture of the 1920s. The tall beige onyx base emphasizes the slenderness of the figure and enhances the decorative quality of the composition. Created around 1925, the statuette belongs to the heyday of Art Deco, when the image of the dancer became widespread in decorative sculpture.
