It was created by the phenomenal Dumitru Haralamb Chipăruș, a Romanian sculptor working in Paris, who remains one of the most significant figures of decorative sculpture from this era. His works are highly prized by collectors worldwide for their ability to capture dramatic poses and the refined aesthetics of high society at the time. The sculpture is crafted from silvered composite metal, giving the material a luxurious, cool luster that perfectly highlights the stylized lines of the female form and the intricate details of the costume.

Chipăruș work was deeply influenced by the Ballets Russes, archaeological discoveries in Egypt (especially after the opening of Tutankhamuns tomb), and the rise of modern dance. This dancer embodies that very combination of exoticism and modernity that makes Chipăruș creations icons of the visual style of interwar Paris.
