This ceramic sculpture is a work by the Belgian artist Elisabeth Vandeweghe for Perignem, featuring typical eyes, dating from the 60s or 70s. The piece is representative of the figurative style that characterized much of the ceramics from the Perignem studio during that period. The sculpture is made of ceramic and depicts a sitting child. The skin is rendered in unglazed, earthy terracotta tones, while the tunic has a textured white glaze and the hair a dark, almost black glaze. With a height of approximately 42 centimeters and a width of 30 centimeters, the sculpture has a substantial presence. The overall condition of the sculpture is good, consistent with its age and previous use. It shows an authentic patina that contributes to the object's vintage character. The "stripe" on the edge of the left sleeve is not damage. The original finish and glazes are well preserved, emphasizing the historical value of the piece. This expressive sculpture is a characterful addition to an interior with a love for Mid-Century design. It fits well on a dresser, in a bookcase, or as part of a collection of Belgian ceramics.
