800 Silver Sculpture Depicting A Flemish Figure With Snails, 19th–20th Century

A curious and refined sculpture in 800 silver, hallmarked with a Flemish stamp, depicting a character, likely a traveler or folk figure, captured playing with snails.
The work stands out for its quality of execution and the lively expression of the face, characterized by a wry smile and an extremely natural rendering of the features. The figure is depicted seated, wearing traditional attire: a wide-brimmed hat, soft clothing, and meticulous detailing, while interacting with the small snails placed next to him, an original and fascinating narrative element.
The modeling is rich and detailed, with meticulous attention to surfaces and details, from the folds of the clothing to the accessories.
800 hallmark present.
