19th-Century Portuguese Terracotta Sculpture Representing a Beggar

About the Item

This 19th-century Portuguese terracotta sculpture represents a beggar and is possibly derived from a nativity scene (presépio). The piece reflects the rich tradition of Portuguese religious and folk art, where figurines were often handcrafted to depict various characters from everyday life. In traditional nativity scenes, figures of common people, such as beggars, peasants, and street vendors, were frequently included to create a more realistic and culturally specific representation of society at the time. The sculpture showcases fine craftsmanship, with detailed facial expressions and textured clothing that emphasize the hardships of the character. The use of terracotta, a widely used material in Portuguese figurative art, gives the piece an earthy, rustic quality. Such sculptures were often produced in workshops influenced by Baroque and Rococo styles, maintaining a strong connection to Portuguese artistic heritage.
