"Profane Ex-voto In Carved Wood - Pastoral Scene - Popular Art 19th Europe Holland?"
Milking scene in carved wood (walnut), animated by four characters and animals: a woman in costume with a headdress (appearing to be Dutch) who milks a cow, a beggar with a violin on her back and two children drinking milk ; they are accompanied by a cat and a dog facing each other around a bucket, a hen and a rooster in a decoration of singular plants.Each subject is carved separately and the whole is assembled on a solid wood base.
This work is remarkable for its quality, its fantasy, particularly the expression of the faces with horned eyes.
This rural scene must probably evoke a moment in the life of the author or its recipient, in the spirit of the ex-votos.
This set rests on a blackened wooden base covered with a glass globe, all of origin.
Good condition; note some old traces of xylophages (non-active).
Dimensions of the scene without the globe: 28.5 cm high x 34 cm long x 21 cm deep
Dimensions with the base and the globe: 40 cm high x 37 cm long x 26 cm deep
