It was a scandalous ballet performed with the Ballet Russes and Paris was in an uproar over his new modern style of choreography and overt sexuality. At the end of the ballet after toying with some nymphs Nijinski pleasures himself on stage with one of their scarves creating the scandal. Paris was in an uproar.

This stunning sculpture was realized by the celebrated sculptor Jean-Baptiste Germain in France, circa 1900. Cast in bronze and presented on a custom channeled red Italian exotic marble onyx base (with a stunning natural grain offering garnet and sable hues), this dynamic and elegant piece presents a standing young lady. This realistically rendered female form appears to be floating atop a stylized cresting wave, her flowing dress (suggestive of the heavily textured fabrics painted by Goya) transforming seamlessly into the body of the wave. One foot rests upon a lip of the wave, while the other floats supernaturally. With one hand holding a fountain pen and book, and the other outstretched, she focuses her gaze intently on the horizon. Beautifully executed in bronze by one of Europe's preeminent classical sculptors, this piece is sure to delight discerning collectors as well as those with a penchant for exquisite objects. With its beautiful detailing and timeless form (referencing centuries of tradition in figurative sculpture), this piece would be a winning addition to any style of interior from traditional to contemporary. It retains its original plaque reading "La Pensée...
