Georges van der Straeten's graceful Parisian girls defined Belle Époque bronze, and most of his work on the market is busts — this is the full figure, head to hem, her train sweeping out behind her across the base. Signed in script on the base, and bearing the Société des Bronzes de Paris foundry pastille and stamped foundry numbers — a Paris lifetime cast.
