Portuguese Pair of Terracotta Sculptures
About the Item
Pair of terracotta sculptures. Detailed artwork, evoking scenes from everyday life with a rustic, traditional touch. The figures depict different characters: a peasant man, possibly a travelling salesman, holding a large basket, and a graceful woman interacting with a small dog that stands on its hind legs.
The man is wearing typical rural worker's clothes, with a simple shirt, short trousers and a wide-brimmed hat. His expressive face and the detail of the basket refer to the commercialisation of local products, representing a traditional market scene.
The woman, on the other hand, displays a delicate and elegant posture, wearing ornate clothes with carved details. Her gaze is directed towards the dog, suggesting a moment of tenderness and complicity.
Both pieces have a warm, natural colour, typical of terracotta.
