Penthesilea, Queen Of The Amazons – Art Deco Sculpture Attributed To Marcel Bouraine (1886–1948)

Terracotta sculpture representing Penthesilea, mythical queen of the Amazons, captured in a tense and majestic gesture, the bow ready to draw. Attributed to Marcel Bouraine, a major figure of Art Deco, this work embodies feminine power and elegance in a dynamic and fluid composition. Ridged hair, controlled muscular tension, slender silhouette: each detail is emblematic of the style of the 1930s. Material: patinated terracotta Period: circa 1930 Dimensions: width 77.5 cm depth 20 cm height top of head 34 cm bow height 54 cm Condition: very good general condition. Note: a small discreet chip on the back of the base (see photo), without affecting the stability or the overall aesthetic. Rare and decorative work, perfect illustration of French Art Deco sculpture.
