Magnificent sculpture in cracked earthenware, representing a very beautiful smiling ephebe.
The beauty of the face of this young man is represented in the purest Art Deco style, underlined even more by the treatment of the hair very in agreement with this period.
This very beautiful piece is signed on the back F. TRINQUE.
Trinque was a French sculptor who was mainly active in the years 1920-30.
While Trinque is relatively unknown, he is now a very popular artist among collectors, mainly because of his great craftsmanship and his style, clearly influenced by Art Deco. Woman and original beauty are his main themes. Regardless of the medium, ceramic, bronze or terra cotta, what is striking about Trinque is that his women often do not conform to the common ideal of beauty, which gives his sculptures strength and individuality.

The crackle is a network of irregular meshes formed by the upper glaze of a porcelain.
These irregular cracks, initially caused by a manufacturing defect, were soon used voluntarily as a decorative technique for the type of porcelain known as "craquelé".
In ceramics or enameling, when the substrate and the glazed composition that covers it do not cool in the same proportions, a different shrinkage occurs causing cracks.
Some metals in enameling are difficult to use because their shrinkage is too different from the enamel it contains. The temperature change must operate in the same expansion and shrinkage changes on the substance to be enamelled and on the enamel itself. The cooling must also be simultaneous.
If, for example, a stream of cold air is projected onto a piece after it has left the kiln, the glaze that receives the cold first cools down faster than the ceramic paste it covers and the shrinkage causes cracks.
The most famous and most esteemed crackles come from China (12th century Guan type stoneware) and Japan, where craftsmen were able to obtain mixtures of various crackles on the same vase. Sometimes, in the cracks thus formed, they insert a glaze of another color which closes the first one.
