This is a captivating and elegant bronze sculpture, believed to be an authentic Russian or Soviet-era piece, reflecting the country\'s celebrated history of ballet.
The Figure:The piece depicts a slender, graceful ballerina standing perfectly en pointe (on the tips of her toes). Her pose is one of deep serenity and poise, with her hands delicately clasped at her chest in a contemplative or prayerful gesture. The detail in her flowing costume and the delicate tension of her pose are beautifully rendered.
