    Description:
    Earthenware, painted and gilded.

    This rare statue represents a man in late eighteenth century clothing.
    The work is of great richness of details, one will notice the laces, embroideries, flowers on the bicorn and on the lapel of the frock coat, one will also notice the chatelaine and the lorgnons suspended from the vest, and many other details.
    The face and hands have a matte finish, unlike the rest which is covered with a glossy coating.
    The rarity of this object is further enhanced by its use; the statue represents this man seated and is made to be placed anywhere as a trompe l'oeil of a real life movement.
    In the house where it comes from the statue was on the piano.
    This fits well with the character, as these men were called "pretty hearts", presenting well, dressed gallantly and singing for their admirers.
    They were often military men.

    There were objects with the same principle of situation, it was about monkeys climbing to lianas which one suspended with the cords of the curtains which simulated the lianas, these statues were out of porcelain or earthenware, our statue of man by its single scarcity can be an order or (and) the representation of a man having really existed.

    French work, there are only hollow figures as marks.

    Condition:
    Very good condition for this kind of object, tiny chips to the flowers and an old break at the right knee, these accidents are invisible if not looked for.
