Helene Maynard White #6279 - Amis Nippons (Japanese Friends) - Ca 1925

Moving bronze figure of a Japanese girl with her heron friend by her side, wearing a rosette-printed kimono and standing on Geta, the typical Japanese wooden shoes also known as Kanji.

Executed in various patinas and signed on the base H M White.
Features the title "Amis Nippons" on the inside of the base, written in East Indian ink.
Made by Helene Maynard White around 1925.

The beautifully detailed, sweet little face and the posture of the hands, one caressing the heron and the other holding a small bowl, make this serene scene a pleasure to behold.

A high-quality Art Deco sculpture that has not previously been seen on the market.
