Overview
Sculpture by Georges Maxime, alloy and marble, France, ca. 1920s
This remarkable sculptural composition by Georges Maxime (1885–1940) captures the elegant dynamism of the Art Deco era. Featuring a poised female figure walking two greyhounds, the piece conveys both grace and movement. It is finely cast in an alloy closely resembling bronze, with exquisite detail in the musculature of the dogs and the flowing attire of the woman.
The figures are mounted on a striking base of polished onyx and marble, adding weight and sophistication to the composition. Minor restorations have been noted at the junctions of the chains and the dogs’ tails—likely addressed by the artist or a contemporary restorer—yet they do not detract from the overall beauty or value of the piece.
Works by Georges Maxime have regularly appeared at auction, commanding significant prices, particularly those that combine complex composition and fine material such as this. A rare opportunity to acquire a museum-worthy sculpture of this caliber.
