Cast from an original terra cotta executed in 1918.
High relief bronze bas relief. Year of original relief execution: 1918. A nude woman dances while beating a tambourine. To the right and left, small fluted columns. Louis Morel, an assistant to Renoir, worked on this relief at Essoyes for and under the direction of Renoir. He took his initial inspiration from a sketch by Renoir dating from the same time. The original plaster model was not signed; the terra cottas and bronzes which were made from the plaster model bear the stamp "Renoir". Pieces from the edition sold in NYC for $15,000 in 1984 (ref. Time Magazine).
