Art Deco bronze sculpture of a half-naked dancer was executed in 1920-1930s by famous Austrian  sculptor and ceramicist of the Art Deco period Stephan Dakon (1904 - Vienna - 1997).

Stephan Dakon attended a sculpture school and did an apprenticeship at the Vienna Art Foundry. From 1924, through the mediation of the ceramicist Josef Lorenzl, he worked at the Viennese manufactory of Friedrich Goldscheider, for which he created numerous models in the Art Deco style. From 1925 to the mid-1950s, he developed into one of the most important and creative designers for Goldscheider. His specialty was the figurative representation of dancers and actresses, including Dolly Sisters, Rita Zabekov, Lilian Harvey, Louise Brooks, as well as the design of female wall masks and depictions of children. Dakon also provided designs for the Viennese ceramics company Keramos and the German manufacturers Goebel/Oeslau and Porzellanfabrik Hertwig & Co./Katzhütte.

Stephan Dakon's ceramics and bronzes are still traded at international auctions. Works by Dakon are in numerous private collections and in the Vienna Museum.
