About the Item

Articulated wooden mannequin designed for artists, dating from the mid-20th century. This piece retains its original function and structural integrity, based on the notable quality of the wood. It stands as an essential object for artists using it as a reference model and for collectors of art-related objects and curiosities. The internal mechanism, composed of spirals and metal bands that allow the figure to be positioned in multiple dynamic poses, remains in good condition and is fully functional, demonstrating the quality of its craftsmanship. This mannequin is not just a tool but also a sculptural piece in its own right, reflecting the clean aesthetics and artisanal manufacturing of its time. The figure stands with a balanced, classic proportion, and the wood possesses a subtle, warm patina acquired naturally over the decades. Its stylized form captures the essential anatomy necessary for drawing, painting, or sculptural studies.
