About the Item
Ormolu and onyx figure of a dancer by Josef Lorenzl
Austrian, c. 1925
Height 25.5cm, width 12cm, depth 7cm
Josef Lorenzl (Austrian. 1892-1950) wonderfully designed and crafted this vivacious figure of a dancer in Austria around 1925.
The figure is cast from ormolu and depicts a slender, young female dancer. Her eyes wide open, hair flowing behind her, the dancer is frozen in time during an energetic dance routine. She is standing on one leg, the other raised and her arms extended.
The delicate ormolu figure stands atop a cuboid onyx plinth mounted on a square base. The pale green, orange, and cream colouration of the stone, superbly matches the colouring of the ormolu.
The piece is signed ‘LORENZL’ on the circular ormolu base and would make a fantastic addition to one’s collection of Art Deco sculptures.

Josef Lorenzl
Josef Lorenzl was born in Vienna on 1st September 1892. He started out working at the Vienna Arsenal in the foundry, where he learned the techniques of bronze casting. Working from a studio in the company’s grounds, he was able to produce many bronze and chryselephantine sculptures. Lorenzl was captivated by the female form he became well known for his shapely dancing girls with long, elegant legs and closed eyes. Lorenzl also was a gifted ceramicist, producing pieces for Goldscheider.
