"The Puppet Peddler - Pastel XVIIIth"
Rare for its subject, the little puppet peddler made demonstrations in the villages, in fact we see in the back of this boy appearing two puppet heads and a drum, and at his belt a curved metal rod emerges. By activating this metal rod the pretty slide puppets and all this to the rhythm of his instrument. (a figurine of Pierre Alexandre representing this scene is visible in the photo carousel) Dimensions at sight - 53 x 41 cm frame dimensions - 68 x 56
