This is a wonderful Modern Art bronze sculpture of Edgar Degas. The name of this figure is "Little dancer of Fourteen Years" and it is world-famous. It mirrors a young female ballet dancer, who stands in an upright position. This beautiful and cute dancing girl gives an impression of youth and gracefulness. Especially the folds of her skirt and the satisfied expression of her face are worked in detail. The nice bronze is set on a dark marble base, which is rectangular shaped. The lovely Modern Art sculpture consists of 100% finest bronze and dark polished marble and contains the signature of its sculptor Degas at the bronze base.
As all of the bronze products in our shop, this exhibit is hand-cast in our own foundry and subject to our strict quality inspections throughout the entire process of fabrication. All of our sculptures are exclusively compounded with the help of lost-wax casting.
Edgar Degas created this really beautiful Modern Art bronze of a young female ballet dancer. He was born in 1834 and started to study law, but he never finished this subject, because he wanted to be an artist. In 1855 he attended a few months the famous French art academy École de Beaux Arts in Paris, but than he tried to learn and develop into a great artist by himself and dropped out of university. He lived in Paris and Italy and dedicated his life to the arts. Nowadays he is especially known for his ballet dancer paintings and sculptures. He died in Paris in 1917 and is buried at the famous Cimetière de Montmartre.
