Superb proof with a medallic and green shaded patina by Emmanuel Villanis (1858-1914), titled "Talisman" on the terrace and depicting a Bohemian dancer.
A French sculptor associated with the Art Nouveau movement, Villanis was known for his bronze works in which the traditional neo-classical style meets the elegant lines of Art Nouveau. A prolific creator of sculptures featuring sensual representations of the female body, Villanis combines patina with finesse of line.
Thought of as attractive, mysterious and daring, the Bohemian woman exerted a fascination on the artist, who created several works materializing these free, seductive women.
Currently, the artist has chosen to depict her wearing a crown over her loose hair. Eyes downcast, she is recognizable by her proud attitude and haughty bearing. Her delicate features and bare shoulders are an invitation to voluptuousness. Gold bracelets and a belt enhance her raw charm.
Bewitching, this bronze by Emmanuel Villanis will dazzle you with its captivating beauty.
