Description
Automaton of a ballerina holding a bouquet of flowers, European School, 19th century
An automaton depicting a female figure dressed in a flowing damask gown with oriental decorative details, holding a delicate floral bouquet in a dancing pose. The serene porcelain face and large glass eyes are complemented by a reddish wig with wavy strands, whilst the dynamic positioning of the arms and the movement of the dress reinforce the piece’s theatrical character. The refinement of the fabrics and the elegance of the composition reflect the 19th-century taste for parlour automata and mechanical entertainment objects. In working order. Dimensions: 40 x 13 x 20 cm.
