Important Earthenware Bust Of Desvres

Earthenware bust, by Georges Martel dit Geo (1872-1942) representing a Breton smoking a pipe. Georges Martel was a talented painter and ceramist, known for his works imbued with realism and strength. Produced in the Desvres factory, this cream-coloured earthenware with a cracked appearance is a testimony to a bygone era. The artist chooses to present us with a man with weathered features, marked by the years. This one puts on a traditional hat and carries a pipe to his mouth, held by both hands, in order to ignite the tobacco. Calm in appearance, the man seems to be leaning on a table. He wears a warm smile. Touching, this work will delight lovers of traditional art objects. ******** Period: 1900 Very good condition. Shipping possible by Colissimo with suitable protection.
