About the Item

This 19th Century French plaster sculpture presents a richly expressive figure holding a rat, an unusual and possibly symbolic detail that adds intrigue to its narrative. The figure, clad in rustic attire with a kerchief and long coat, extends one hand in gesture while the other cradles the rat close to the chest. The sculpture is heavily weathered, with layers of flaking paint, surface cracks, and a timeworn patina that speak to its age and authenticity. The rat, complete with a painted red collar, is modeled with surprising care, lending the piece a curious charm. Poignant and enigmatic, this figure invites speculation and offers a distinctive presence within folk art or antique sculpture collections.
