"Terracotta Sculpture Signed De Matteis"
A fascinating terracotta sculpture attributed to Francesco De Matteis (Lecce, 1852 - Naples, 1917), depicting a mandolin player. The artwork, 30 cm tall, stands out for the extraordinary skill of the artist in capturing the expressiveness and dynamism of the figure, portrayed in a moment of intense musical interpretation. The detailed craftsmanship and the lively folds of the clothing highlight the realistic style typical of the sculptural production of the artist, active between the 19th and early 20th centuries. A unique piece that combines artisanal tradition with deep artistic sensitivity.
