Ceramic statue of "artist painting" by Adriano Colombo (1940). Signed on base.
Height: 9.5"

From kompatscher.co: The artist Adriano Colombo was born in Mossano (Vicenza), in 1940. In the cultural climate of the 60s, he began to draw and after of a long research he arrived at the sculpture. He has a very unique way to deal with the clay. The caricature is the new component for him, and the difficulty lies not only in the search of a new humorous viewpoint, but also in showing the extent of the mimic like expression and in constant relation between drawing and sculpture. The Adrianos humorism knows no compulsion issues, it is so easy and natural like a little smile.

Good condition overall; small pieces missing from 'cloth' and 'paintbrush'.
