Elevate your collection with this captivating, authentic Capodimonte porcelain figure group titled "L'Ammalata" (The Sick Woman). Masterfully modeled by the legendary Italian sculptor Tiziano Galli, this exquisite piece was cast and hand-painted by the highly collectible Rori studio in Italy as part of their exclusive "Medea" line. It serves as an extraordinary example of mid-century Italian narrative character art, brimming with expressive realism, detailed charm, and subtle theatrical humor.
The scene portrays a focused physician conducting a medical examination using a stethoscope on a beautiful young woman who is seated atop an examination chaise longue. Galli's genius shines through the meticulous details anchoring the setting: a mid-century medical desk cluttered with text books, a desk candle, medical instruments, a glass decanter, and a small vase filled with delicate yellow flowers. The realism is further elevated by a rich teal examination sheet draped elegantly over the side of the table and her discarded black heels resting on a low stool nearby.
A beautiful standalone statement item or companion piece to other medical satires, it embodies the finest traditions of handmade Italian art pottery.
