French Art Deco bronze dancer by Marcel Bouraine (1886-1948), a close friend to Max Le Verrier. Modelled as a theatrical dancer holding aloft comedy and tragedy masks. Signed to the bronze socle Matto – a pseudonym used but Marcel Bouraine. Produced in the 1920s. Bears the foundry stamp for Marcel Gullemard to the back of the bronze socle. Mounted on a portorro marble base. 19 inches (48cm) high, 11.25 inches (28.5cm) wide, 4.5 inches (11cm) deep. Condition is very good with some minor age related scuffs and a couple of tiny marble chips as one would expect.
