Art Deco sculpture representing a stylized archer in the right moment in which she tenses her bow, thus adopting a dynamic and elegant posture that is appreciated through an idealized and stylized anatomy. The bronze sculpture featured in the image is a work by French artist Armand Lemo (1881-1935). Known for his Art Deco style sculptures, Lemo captures grace and strength in this piece in a depiction of an Amazon mounted on horseback.
The sculpture depicts a female figure, clad in a helmet and chain mail, suggesting her role as a warrior or huntress. The female figure is in a position of control and confidence, with her right arm extended and her hand holding a spear. The horse, depicted in great anatomical detail, is in motion, with its forelegs raised and its body leaning forward. The animal's tension and energy are conveyed through the sculpture, creating a sense of dynamism and strength.
Lemo's Art Deco style is evident in the sculpture's clean, geometric lines and simplified forms. The surface of the bronze, polished and shiny, reflects the light and adds a touch of elegance to the work.
The sculpture stands on a base, which complements the bronze figure and adds stability to the piece. The base also features Art Deco decorative elements, such as stepped lines and geometric motifs.
