A classic example of italian ceramic art from the 1970s, characterized by soft modeling and meticulous detail.

subject and style: the work depicts a young girl in country dress sitting on a rock, captured in the act of drawing water or resting near a fountain decorated with water lilies and polychrome flowers. The figure holds a terracotta-colored amphora. The style is romantic and bucolic, typical of the capodimonte figurative tradition, with soft pastel colors that delicately contrast with the white of the biscuit.

material and finish: made of biscuit porcelain (unglazed on the figure's skin) with hand-painted details. The base features: the "n" mark with a crown (capodimonte) in blue, the model number "0/306," and the artist's signature "nico venzo" engraved in the paste.
