Georges Flamand was a Paris-born sculptor active in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. A pupil of Alexandre Falguière, Flamand inherited the academic finesse of his master while developing his own expressive and lyrical language aligned with the Art Nouveau aesthetic. His oeuvre is rich in allegorical and feminine figures, often exploring movement, sensuality, and poetic gesture.

The present Danseuse exemplifies his interest in graceful female nudes, idealized yet emotionally resonant, and positioned within a decorative, often allegorical register. This piece may be seen in relation to the wider context of symbolist sculpture of the time—akin to the work of Jean-Léon Gérôme, Louis-Ernest Barrias, or Agathon Léonard—yet it bears Flamand’s distinctive softness and naturalism, which set him apart.

Although relatively less documented than his contemporaries, Flamand’s bronzes are increasingly appreciated among collectors and specialists of the Art Nouveau period for their sculptural clarity, elegance, and emotional nuance.
