GROUP IN PORCELAIN BISQUE "THE TRIUMPH OF CHILD HARVESTERS"

Sold
Current stock : 0

Porcelain bisque group called the "Triumph of child harvesters". It represents children carrying a vine on which one of them triumphs with a ewer and a glass of wine. Some of them seem to be in a state of inebriation. One has fallen and is trying to get up. This amusing porcelain sculpture highlights the harvest, an important moment in the agricultural season in the autumn. The harvest is a time of intense collective work and is accompanied by many village celebrations, and is therefore often associated with feasting and drinking.

This little performance is in fact a moral critique by the bourgeoisie of the excesses of the 19th-century rural population.

The work dates from the late 19th century.
