Offered by Antichità San Felice
Large terracotta group representing an interior scene, northern France, second half of the 17th century.
The refined execution of this delightful family interior takes us back to the production of French terracotta partly influenced by the taste of Flanders. From Flanders we regain the taste for the popular scene but the delicacy of the features, so far from the strong characterization of the Flemings, takes us back to France, near the city of Paris, where there were numerous ovens which worked terracotta in the 17th century. century. The very clothes of the two figures are documented as being the festive clothes of the villagers who lived near the big city.
The woman, with thick curls partly hidden by her bonnet, sits slicing bread with a cat at her feet and a child grabbing her arm; the man, at whose feet is the house dog, sits mending his shoe.
Small gaps.
