Elegant porcelain figure depicting a nude ballerina in a dynamic pose, characterized by refined anatomical modelling and a pronounced sense of movement. The elongated posture, with one supporting leg and the other drawn back, recalls the language of classical dance and neoclassical‑inspired sculpture, reinterpreted through the decorative sensibility of the early 20th century.

The distinctive feature of the piece lies in its articulated, movable arms, an element that adds liveliness to the figure. The face, with delicate features and a focused expression, is framed by a wavy hairstyle reminiscent of antique-inspired models. The porcelain, left in a uniform ivory tone, enhances the soft rendering of the surfaces and the precision of the modelling.

From a conservation standpoint, the figure shows declared restorations: it has been reattached in several points, and one hand and part of the other have been reconstructed. These interventions support the stability and overall legibility of the piece, which retains a pleasing decorative and aesthetic impact. Normal signs of age are present, consistent with the material’s delicacy and the object’s period.

The figure is mounted on a base that ensures proper display and is suitable as a vintage decorative object for elegant interiors, collections of artistic porcelain, or settings inspired by classical taste.
