A 1950s Black Painted Terracotta. Dutch Figure of Two Childs

About the Item

This is a 1950s black-painted terracotta figurine depicting two Dutch children sitting together on a bench. The sculpture showcases a traditional European folk art style, with intricate details in the children's clothing, facial expressions, and posture. The sculpture features a boy and a girl dressed in traditional Dutch attire. The girl wears a bonnet and a dress with suspenders, while the boy wears a knitted cap, a buttoned-up shirt, and loose-fitting trousers. The figurine captures a sweet, nostalgic moment, possibly symbolizing childhood friendship or young love. The detailing in the clothing, facial expressions, and posture adds depth and charm to the piece. The black-painted finish gives it a vintage, slightly aged look, adding to its collectible appeal. The sculpture is in good condition overall.
