About this work
François-Raoul Larche was a prominent French sculptor of the Art Nouveau period. Alongside his public commissions, Larche produced small-scale editioned works, primarily in bronze and pewter, including a wide variety of statuettes and objets d’art such as vases, ashtrays and lamps. His statuettes of the avant-garde dancer Loïe Fuller are the most famous of all his editioned works; Fuller’s swirling drapery epitomising the exotic, sensuous woman of the period. These statuettes were produced at the peak of Larche’s career and at that moment when the Art Nouveau style came to worldwide attention through the 1900 Paris International Exhibition.
