Deco Interiors has dated this piece to the 1920s.
Le Faguays was a prolific and versatile avant-garde French sculptor whose works greatly influenced the styles of the 1920s and early 1930s. His many male figures were super-powerful (a blend of primitive and futuristic man) and often brutal to the extreme. Yet, his dancing girls are delicate creatures with lovely, sensitive faces equal to those of the better known specialists - Chiparus, Preiss and Lorenzl.

This is an original bronze, not spelter cold casting, with the lost wax process. Marked 'BRONZE' in cast, reverse of statue (bottom of girl's skirt). Presentation plate to front. Unsigned.
Beautiful bronzed gold patina.
