Artistic description:

Elegant porcelain figure produced by the prestigious Spanish manufacturer Algora, internationally renowned for the high quality of its artistic porcelains and for the delicacy of its finishes.

The piece represents a peasant or water carrier dressed in traditional attire, holding a small jug in one hand while offering coins with the other, adding a narrative and genre character to the composition. The facial expression, treated with great naturalness, conveys sweetness and closeness, while the slight tilt of the head gives the figure movement and elegance.

The polychromy, dominated by whites and blues with fine gilded details, recalls the European ceramic tradition and highlights the refinement characteristic of Algora productions. The folds of the clothing, the anatomical modeling and the meticulousness of the small accessories reveal an excellent level of execution.

Founded in Madrid in the 20th century, Algora became one of the most appreciated Spanish porcelain factories by collectors, producing limited edition figures and high-quality artistic series for both the national and international market.

This sculpture constitutes an attractive collectible piece, ideal for lovers of Spanish porcelain, genre scenes and prestigious manufactories.
