The female figure is rendered with Chiparus’s characteristic sense of poise and stylization, her gently inclined head and elongated form conveying quiet sophistication. The face, neck, and hands are finely carved from original antique ivory, exhibiting a warm, naturally aged patina consistent with early 20th century chryselephantine sculpture. These ivory elements contrast beautifully with the richly patinated bronze, used for the figure’s gown and the elegantly modeled borzoi, whose sinuous forms frame the composition with balance and movement.
The sculpture is mounted on a finely veined marble base, grounding the composition and enhancing its architectural presence. Signed by Chiparus, this work exemplifies the luxurious materials, theatrical elegance, and refined craftsmanship that define his Art Deco oeuvre.
