About the Item

Decorate a boy's room or a shelf with this cheerful antique figurine. The mid-century French terracotta figure, titled "Insouciance," beautifully captures the carefree spirit of youth. The figure depicts a young boy seated casually on a rock, barefoot, and dressed in simple, rustic attire, with a vest and hat. His relaxed posture and gentle smile embody the essence of "insouciance," or carefree nonchalance. The terracotta material adds a warm, earthy quality to the piece, enhancing its charm and realism. The craftsmanship reflects the mid-20th century French tradition of capturing everyday moments with grace and subtlety, making this figure a delightful representation of youthful innocence and the simple joys of life. The figure is in excellent condition and adorns rich patinated polychrome painted colors. 7.25"W x5.5"D x 18"H
