About the Item

Large terracotta group depicting interior scene, northern France, second half of the 17th century. The fine execution of this delightful family interior takes us back to the production of French earthenware partly influenced by the taste of Flanders. From Flanders we regain a taste for the popular scene, but the delicacy of the features, so far removed from the strong Flemish characterization, takes us back to France, near the city of Paris, where there were numerous kilns working with terracotta in the 17th century. century. The very clothes of the two figures are documented as the festive clothes of villagers who lived near the big city. The woman, her thick curls partly hidden by her bonnet, sits slicing bread with a cat at her feet and a child grasping her arm; the man, at whose feet is the house dog, sits while mending his shoe. Small gaps. Measurements Woman H 48 cm Base 33 x 20 cm Man H 46 cm Base 30 x 26 cm
