This large heavy bronze is titled "Phoenician Dancer" and was sculpted by Demetre Chiparus. Chiparus' work was heavily influenced in the 1920s by the art of ancient Egypt and the unveiling of King Tutankhamun's tomb. You can see the creativity and inspiration of Egyptian art in this piece. She extends her arms and strikes a theatrical pose. She stands on tiptoe and dances with her legs close together and bent.

It is an extremely detailed piece down to the tone of her abdominal muscles. This sculpture was handcrafted and has a brown patina. It is signed Chiparus and is mounted on an Art Deco style black marble base. Demetre Haralamb Chiparus (also known as Dumitru Chiparus; September 16, 1886, Dorohoi, Romania - January 22, 1947, Paris, France) was a Romanian sculptor of the Art Deco era who lived and worked in Paris. He was born in Romania, the son of Haralamb and Saveta.

In 1909, he traveled to Italy, where he studied under the Italian sculptor Raffaello Romanelli. In 1912, he moved to Paris to attend the Ecole des Beaux Arts to further his art in the classes of Antonin Mercie and Jean Boucher. Demetre Chiparus died in 1947 and was buried in the Bagneux cemetery, just south of Paris.
