This original period figurative sculpture, dated 1953, represents a fascinating example of mid-century terracotta narrative art. The work depicts an elderly hunter or farmer sitting to rest in the company of his faithful dog, capturing a scene of everyday life steeped in nostalgia and expressive realism.
The handcrafted modeling highlights well-defined details, from the hat to the period clothes, up to the relaxed posture of the figure. The base is engraved with the author's signature, the date 1953 and the evocative inscription "in my time what times", an inscription that gives a profound historical and collecting value to the piece. An ideal proposal to enrich classic interiors or studios with a unique and characterful art element.
