Description
This bisque porcelain figurine stands at 15 inches tall and portrays a young man in a moment of pause during his journey to fetch water. He is dressed in 19th-century French period clothing meticulously hand painted with detailed gold patterns.
He wears a waffle knit long nightcap with gold accents over his thick brown curly hair ending in gold tassel draping over his left shoulder. His gentle lifelike handsome face is complemented by large blue eyes and a distinguished handlebar mustache, evoking the essence of fashion from that era.
The attire is resplendent in its detail, with a white shirt featuring ruffled embellishments at the waist, enhanced by three horizontal rows of gold pompons and a subtle yet elaborate three-leaf gold pattern. Layered atop the shirt is a short jacket, its 3/4 length flared sleeves intricately adorned with intricate gold scrollwork.
His breeches are embellished with rose gold flowers and leaf designs. With his right hand resting confidently on his hip, and his left hand holding a water jug, the figurine captures a moment frozen in time, resonating with the elegance and grace of the French Neoclassical period.
