Lady with Borzoi Bronze Sculpture by Armand Godard – Art Deco Collection
This captivating Art Deco bronze sculpture by French artist Armand Godard, Lady with Borzoi, exemplifies the elegance and poise of 1930s design. Cast in double-patinated bronze and resting on a richly veined onyx and marble base, the composition features a seated female figure holding the leash of a striking Borzoi hound. The scene radiates refined sophistication, from the flowing drapery of the woman’s dress to the lean, elongated form of the dog poised in motion. Signed “A. Godard” on the base, this piece dates to circa 1930 and remains in excellent condition.
Often mistaken for a greyhound, the dog is in fact a Borzoi, known for its aristocratic profile, long, slender snout, and distinctive wavy coat. Highly favored in Art Deco imagery for its exotic beauty and noble stature, the Borzoi perfectly complements the stylized female form, evoking themes of grace, control, and modern femininity. This sculpture is a superb example of French Art Deco bronze work and a statement piece for any serious collection.
