Pierre Le Faguays - An Art Deco silvered and enamelled bronze
sculpture, signed with his pseudonym "P Laurel", France circa
1920's - the stylised ballet dancer mounted on stepped honey
marble base.
This is a wonderful bronze by Le Faguays with his typical styling
and the signature Laurel was created using Le Faguays' mother's name
Laure with the addition of the L from his surname.
This is the first time I have seen this particular model.
Pierre le Faguays
Born in Nantes; pupil of Vibert. He attracted the attention of the
public at his first exhibition due to the originality he gave his
dancing subjects which were inspired by the statues of Tangara. He
was a member of the salon of La Stele and Evolution groups. Received
a medal of honour in 1927.
