Between 1884 and 1914, sculptor Jules Desbois was a practitioner of Auguste Rodin's work, which he supported and influenced for a long time, before opening up to a more modern and personal aesthetic language. However, he remained faithful to the traditional subjects inherited from his academic training, in this case one of the favorite biblical characters of late 19th-century artists, the famous Salome. The theme of the dance of Herodias' cruel daughter offered a sensuality and rhythm that were highly inspiring for artists innovating in the Art Nouveau and Art Deco styles. Jules Desbois brings expressiveness and grace to this dancing female figure, thanks to the torsion of the draped body and the arms fully uncovering the naked female torso.
