Figurine depicting a Beggar – Polychrome terracotta from the 18th century, signed "C.P."

A valuable polychrome terracotta figurine depicting a seated beggar, created in the 18th century and signed "C.P.". The artwork is striking for the extraordinary expressiveness of the face and the naturalistic rendering of the posture, elements that recall the popular and devotional plastic tradition of the 18th century, typical of Italian nativity scene art. The character is represented in a moment of intense humanity: the upward gaze and outstretched hand evoke a scene of strong emotional realism, while the tattered clothes and traveler's staff are modeled with considerable attention to detail. The original polychromy, with pleasant signs of age and wear consistent with the period, lends further charm and authenticity to the artifact. An artwork of great decorative and collectible character, ideal for collections of sacred art, antique nativity scene statuary, or 18th-century art objects.
