Art Nouveau-style bronze sculpture depicting a female figure with dramatic dragonfly-like wings.
Graceful and theatrical, the sculpture captures the romantic spirit of the Art Nouveau movement, where female forms, flowing lines, and natural motifs were celebrated as symbols of beauty, movement, and sensuality. The figure stands poised in an elongated gown with windswept hair and uplifted arms, framed by sweeping wing forms that evoke both dragonfly wings and the ethereal glamour of early 20th-century decorative arts.
The composition also recalls the era of luxury automobile mascots and iconic feminine figures such as the famed Spirit of Ecstasy associated with Rolls-Royce, blending elegance, speed, and motion into a sculptural silhouette.
Rendered in a dark patinated bronze and mounted on a polished black marble base, the piece has a striking vertical presence well suited for display on a pedestal, console, mantel, or library shelf.
Both decorative and symbolic, Libellule embodies the dreamlike romanticism and organic fluidity that made Art Nouveau one of the most enduring artistic styles of the Belle Époque period.
