Marie Rambert (1888-1982) - ballet dancer and founder of the Rambert Dance Company. The Oxford Dictionary of National Biography describes Polish-born Rambert as "cultivated, dynamic, alert, witty, and chic". The small statuette is based on a photograph by Madame Yevonde (Yevonde Middleton 1893-1975) of Rambert with Frederick Ashton, which was published in The Tatler in June 1926. The pair's pose was to promote a new ballet, "The Tragedy of Fashion" which was written and arranged by Marie's husband, Ashley Dukes, with music composed by Eugene Goossens
