An Ivory Figurine Depicting A Boy With A Bird, Dating From The 1800s.
Carved ivory figurine of a boy with a bird, standing on a folding pedestal. A rural bird catcher in a straw hat is ironically depicted as an ancient philosopher in the pose of a pastoral thinker. The bird in his hand serves as a symbol of reflection on freedom. But who else in the human world could be freer than a carefree bird catcher?
1800s, made in Dieppe. Height 11.5 cm.
