Atelier KARL HAGENAUER (Austria, 1898 - 1956). "Ballerina". Austria, ca. 1940-50's. Silver-plated metal. No signature. Black metal base. It presents wear and some lack in the polychrome of the base. Measurements: 42 x 24 x 5 cm (figure); 2 x 40 x 9 cm (base). In the making of this slender dancer, Karl Hagenauer's style is evident: an essential and synthetic modeling typically Art Deco, but without avoiding naturalism.
