ABOUT PRODUCTID 4542
The 'Dancing Mephisto' figurine from early 20th-century Vienna exemplifies Art Nouveau sculpture with a distinctly collectible pedigree. Cast in brass and finished to a high gloss, it depicts a lively devil in a dynamic, playful pose. The composition is characterized by elongated, expressive limbs and a pronounced, flexible tail. Details—from the mischievous horns and animated facial features to the anatomical modeling of the muscles—reflect the precision of Viennese craftsmanship and the Art Nouveau era's fascination with fantasy and the grotesque. The golden brass surface transitions to subtle matte areas in the recesses, where a gentle, natural patina has formed. The finish is smooth and mirror-like, with the entire piece cast as a single, seamless unit. Dimensions: height 9 cm, length 14 cm, width 6 cm. The condition is very good, with only minimal signs of age-related wear and no visible damage or repairs. This small sculpture carries the wit and freedom of Secessionist Vienna. Mephisto, frozen in mid-dance, seems to defy gravity: elongated fingers and tail draw light lines in the air, while the polished brass reflects light like a theatrical backdrop. The figure's face, with its slightly arched brow and sly smile, evokes the atmosphere of cabarets and masquerades so prevalent in early
