About the Item

The sculpture depicts a European chef slipping on on overturned frying pan and trying to balance or 'right' himself with an outstretched hand. The figurine is composed of a molded plaster or chalkware and hand painted in a realistic manner. This figurine was obtained from a bakery, where it sat on the counter since it opened in 1970.
