Even when not performing, this delicate dancer appears in fluid motion, blending the fierce pride of a ballerina with sharply defined muscles and graceful control. The Rose sculpture is an adaptation from Degas' painting Danseuses: Rose et Vert (1894)
The Rose sculpture is hand-cast and hand-finished in crushed stone resin. Centuries-old casting techniques still apply. Artisans apply the patina in a labor-intensive process that requires several layers and specialized shading. The result is a durable statue that stands up to the ravages of time.
Dimensions: Height of 8 inches x Diameter of 3 inches
