LITERATURE: Hermann Braun, Fritz Klimsch. Eine Dokumentation, Cologne, 1991, p. 35.

“Around the turn of the 19th century, modern dance experienced a rapid development in Europe. The art of expressing emotional states and processes through body movement was bound to fascinate every sculptor. Klimsch retained a special interest in this art form throughout his life: names such as Valentine Petit, Anna Pavlowa and Carolina Otero are inextricably linked with his work. He apparently distinguished between dancers who inspired him to create a motif of movement and those who inspired him to create a portrait.” (Quoted from: Hermann Braun, Fritz Klimsch. Eine Dokumentation, Cologne, 1991, p. 310).

In good condition. The figure has a beautiful, lively brown-black patina, with isolated tiny traces of corrosion.
