Dragonfly is one of his recurring ballet subjects, with the elongated limbs, flowing costume and sweeping wing-like forms giving the figure a particularly strong sense of movement.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCast in bronze with a rich dark patina and mounted on a fluted cylindrical bronze pedestal with circular base. The sculpture is signed Tom Merrifield to the base and individually numbered 37\/150, making this an original limited-edition cast rather than a reproduction.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThere has been a previous repair where the dancer's foot meets the top of the pedestal, visible on close inspection. Otherwise the sculpture presents very well, with general minor surface wear and patination consistent with age. Please see photographs for condition.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eMeasures approximately 31 cm \/ 12.2 inches tall overall.","brand":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56903030768002,"sku":"10-09-26-N-220-S-3B","price":775.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0570\/1405\/9185\/files\/il_fullxfull.8552496761_gmv9.jpg?v=1789061727","url":"https:\/\/circusofcurios.com\/products\/tom-merrifield-dragonfly-bronze-ballet-dancer-signed-limited-edition-37-150-31cm","provider":"CIRCUS OF CURIOS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
