The subject matter of her best known works was primarily Arab female dancers. The majority of her career output in sculpture can be classified as being of the Art Deco style.

Her sculptures, most of which depicted beautifully figured, energized, and dramatic female forms, were exhibited posthumously at the Paris Salon for nearly 30 years.
