Description
This delicate terracotta statuette depicts a young girl with a refined face and stylized features, wearing two long braids tied with ribbons.
The simplicity of the volumes and the softness of the lines recall the aesthetic of 1950s Italian workshops, influenced by modern sculpture and Tuscan artisan traditions.
The matte surface and warm hue of the terracotta give this piece a presence that is both understated and refined. The unidentified signature on the back testifies to the meticulous work of a workshop, likely from a small regional art production center.
This statuette, both discreet and expressive, fits perfectly into vintage, Mediterranean, or mid-century decor.
It can be placed on a shelf, console table, or desk, and brings a touch of artisanal elegance to any interior.
A beautiful collector's item, a testament to 1950s Italian craftsmanship.
