Contact us about Painted Cast Metal Dancer of a Female Figure in Orientalist Style

A good quality painted cast metal figure of a female dancer in the Orientalists Style. There is impressive detailing throughout the cast. Circular base. There is no base cover. It is a little rough in this area and would benefit being placed on a mat. An impressive, decorative item that would suit both modern and traditional interiors. Very heavy. Some age-related wear consistent with use. Please view the photographs carefully as these form part of the description. If you require any extra photos or a condition report, please do not hesitate to contact the team. Orientalism was popular during the 19th century. It reflected the interest by the Western public in North Africa and the Middle East. (The portrayal, an either real or imagined, view of these areas and of the people that lived there). Travel had become more widespread and photography an emerging way to capture images, giving rise for new opportunities to record, either in the studio or on site. Creating a new way of working for the artist and archivist.
