"Neapolitan Nativity Figures 18th Century"
Beautiful pair of sculptures in wood and painted terracotta, typical of a church nativity scene. The two figures represent a peasant woman helping a beggar, both dressed in typical clothes of the time. The peasant woman holds a basket in her hand, while the beggar woman holds a handbag. The details of the clothes and accessories are very accurate, and the figures are embellished with small jewels. The faces of the two women are very expressive and well crafted, conveying a sense of compassion and solidarity. These sculptures are an example of the fine Neapolitan manufacturing of the 18th century.Measurements: HxWxD 70 x 40 x 29cm
