Large terracotta sculptural group depicting fishermen and a boat, approximately 25x12 cm - Imposing and detailed sculptural group made of natural terracotta, portraying with extraordinary realism a scene of maritime life. The work depicts four fishermen intent on maneuvering a boat laden with nets and fish, with physical effort masterfully rendered through the plasticity of their bodies and facial expressions. Every element is modeled with extreme precision, from the woven net meshes to the details of the boat and the amphora placed at the bow. This is a high-quality artisan artifact attributable to the great tradition of 20th-century Italian terracotta sculpture.
