beautiful polychrome ceramic sculpture, glazed and entirely decorated by hand with soft, delicate colors, fired three times, depicting a large dancing couple, a lady and gentleman in 19th-century dress, made by the important austrian manufacturer goldscheider in the early 20th century, signed and numbered on the back with an incised mark. Under the base there is also the artist's signature in cursive: "e. Tell". The sculpture is made in full art nouveau style, in the early years of the 20th century. The polychromy is also very delicate, giving the object a wonderful evanescent quality, a real touch of class that makes the sculpture diaphanous and soft in color, echoing the impressionist style of the late 1800s.
