Claire Colinet offers us a typical Art Deco sculpture in the form of a beautiful woman of stylized anatomy that raises her arms and lifts her heels. It is a realistic work in its modeling but rigorous and geometric in its composition, perfectly reflecting the aesthetic basis of Art Deco.

Claire Colinet was a French sculptor of Belgian origin. Most of her works are in the Art Deco style. She is mainly known for her bronze figures of dancers of the world. She studied with Jef Lambeaux. In 1929 she was elected a permanent member of the Salon des Artistes Francais. Her work was frequently exhibited at the Parisian Salons (Salon des Artistes Francais and Salon des Independents art exhibitions) and after her death, they were exhibited for 30 years at the Salon de Paris. The Museum of Art Nouveau and Art Deco (Casa Lis) in Salamanca exhibits his chryselephantine sculptures Walkyria (1920), Dancer of Thebes, Hindu Dancer and Carmen.
