Danzarina

2nd century BCE
Not on view
Con gran maestría, el autor de esta obra emblemática de la escultura china arcaica consiguió que un objeto estático pareciera estar en movimiento. Infundió fuerza vital a la danzarina de cerámica, captando el instante lleno de tensión en el que lanza una manga hacia atrás, se encorva ligeramente y flexiona las rodillas.
