EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Figure of the Dancer" a masterpiece manufactured by Vincennes Factory and expertly modelled by Pierre Blondeau between 1748-1752. Crafted from unglazed soft-paste biscuit porcelain, this sculpture measures 21.6x14x8 cm and is currently housed in the prestigious Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA. Notably, Vincennes Factory was renowned for its production of unglazed biscuit figures that resembled elegant marble figurines due to their pure material composition. The popularity of these biscuit figures quickly spread throughout Europe after their introduction at Vincennes. The female dancer depicted in this statuette captivates viewers with her graceful pose and traditional costume, complete with a charming hat. With her curtsy frozen in time, she embodies the elegance and artistry associated with dance during the 18th century. This print belongs to The Norweb Collection and offers a glimpse into French artistic heritage. Created by François Boucher (1703-70) based on his original design, it exemplifies the skillful craftsmanship prevalent during this period. With its rich historical significance and aesthetic beauty, this print serves as a testament to both the artistic mastery of Pierre Blondeau and Vincennes Factory's contribution to European decorative arts during the 18th century.
