A charming vintage cold-cast bronze ballerina sculpture by British artist Pauline Parsons for Heredities. Seated gracefully on a textured, wood-effect base, the young dancer bends forward to adjust her pointe shoe, her delicate braided hairstyle and beautifully detailed tutu capturing a quiet moment in the life of a ballerina. Finished in rich, dark bronze tones, this lovely figurine has an understated elegance and wonderful sculptural detail.
A lovely vintage piece for a bookshelf, dressing table or mantelpiece, and a thoughtful gift for a ballet enthusiast.
