J.B. Hirsch Art Deco Chryselephantine Style Dancing Figure Sculpture - A single Art Deco figural sculpture attributed to J.B. Hirsch, known for chryselephantine-style works such as ”Trop Risqué.” The piece depicts a female dancer in a dramatic, dynamic pose with flowing, stylized drapery. The main body and drapery are cast in a metal alloy with a dark brown patina finish, simulating bronze. The head and exposed upper torso are rendered in a contrasting creamy material, likely composition or celluloid, painted with cosmetic details including blue eyeshadow and red lips, characteristic of the chryselephantine technique. The figure is mounted on a circular variegated marble base. No specific artist signatures, foundry marks, or identifying text are visible on the sculpture itself.
