The dancer’s garments blow around her wildly, while her hands are crossed at her chest. Next to her right foot is a seashell, and behind her are rocks. According to the Chrysler Museum of Art, this sculpture depicts American actress and dancer Loïe Fuller (1862-1928). The Museum’s sculpture was made in pâte de verre by French glass artist Amalric Walter (1870-1959). The piece may be based on one by another artist, as Walter often worked with artists to create pâte de verre versions of their sculptures. However, the signature or markings on the base of our antique cast are illegible and no references to this work, besides the Chrysler Museum records, appear to exist. Walter created the piece around 1920. Our predecessors, P.P. Caproni and Brother, first offered casts of this work in their 1922 catalog, identifying it only as a Tanagra figurine which is from a group of figurines found in excavating the ancient City of Tanagra in Greece.
