This French Art Deco bronze is by Demetre Chiparus (1886 – 1947).
A rare 1920s piece, with a top quality casting by the Master of Art Deco statues, signed to the bronze.
She sits mounted on a stepped onyx base.
A similar one can be seen in Chiparus book by Alberto Shayo on page 183.
I believe made in 2 sizes the larger one is 70cm long. This is the rarer smaller version and measures 21.5 inches (54cm) wide, 15 inches (38cm) high, 7.5 inches (18cm) deep.
Very good condition.
