Nativity scene (3) - Earthenware, Textile - Holy Family

Sacred Family in 18th-century Neapolitan tradition style, figures made on a stuffed mannequin, to which heads, arms, and legs are added, all hand-painted in oil on terracotta, varnished and patinated, with glass eyes. Joseph's outfit consists of an orange satin cloak, a green brocade silk coat woven by Leucio, purple iridescent satin trousers and jacket, and a linen shirt. The Madonna wears a blue satin cloak, a pink acetate tunic, and underneath, a cotton gown and culottes decorated with cotton braid, a light green fabric head covering, and both figures wear flip-flops. All garments are hand-sewn and finished. The Child Jesus is entirely hand-modeled in terracotta, painted in oil, varnished, and patinated, wrapped in a white chiffon cloth. Unique handcrafted pieces.
