Finely carved and masterfully lacquered pine wood sculpture depicting a "Pitocco"; the typical character representing a beggar, which was depicted in 18th-century Venice, with a hunched posture, dressed in tattered clothes and wearing a pointed hat, holding a bundle in his hands; barefoot, he stands on a base imitating rocky ground, which in turn rests on a molded rectangular pedestal.
Venice, 18th century.
