Beautiful and very rare antique Vienna bronze bare chested female dancing jester. She is sculptured wearing her 3 bell jester hat and her jester's skirt. Her belt has the original dangling jeweled bells that a jester would wear in the 18th century. This is a very rare and extraordinary antique Vienna bronze sculpture. It is mounted on its original specimen marble and bronze base. The jester is very beautiful very lifelike, showing great motion and extremely high quality sculptural details. In her hand she holds a long wand with a little jester head. Even the little jester head is such high quality that the face looks alive. This piece has been in my own collection for many years. I have decided after collecting for more than 45 years to share my collection by offering select items on eBay to share with the world. This is one of my most favorite Vienna bronzes. It is an extremely rare model, the only one I have seen in my more than 45 years buying, selling, and collecting antique bronze sculptures. From the bottom of the base to the highest point of her hat she measures 9-1/2 inches. From the tip of her toe to her left hand she measures 8-1/4 inches. She is on the original marble base that the artist sculptured her to be on. The jester, not including the marble base, from the bottom of her foot to the top of her head piece is 7 inches. The condition is superb. All the jeweled simulated bells on her hat and belt are intact and original to the piece. If you collect only the rarest and highest quality Vienna bronzes you have found a worthy addition to your collection here. Under her skirt is signed TITZE AUSTRIA. This is the ultimate dancing jester antique Vienna bronze sculptured by a very important and well listed Vienna bronze sculptor who worked form the late 19th to the early 20th century. I date my piece circa 1900. It is in superb original condition and is guaranteed to please the most particular collector or connoisseur. (Item #72581)
