Two figures in rural clothing lean against a white capital decorated with leaf motifs, set on a circular gold base. The peasant woman holds a wicker basket full of grapes, while the farmer carries a bundle of fruit tied to a stick. In excellent condition, except for a small loss on the tip of the stick. The gold bases bear the signature of the sculptor G. Cappè and a crowned N. They were created with great detail, circa 1960s, by the artist Giuseppe Cappè.

Giuseppe Cappè, born in Cittiglio (Varese) in 1921 and died in Lomagna (Lecco) in May 2008, dedicated his life to the creation and production of porcelain works, appreciated worldwide, especially in the United States. Some of his works are now in many private collections and museums.
Cappè is an artist who drew inspiration from the great Italian Baroque-Alexandrian folk tradition, of which the stuccoes of Serpotta (Palermo), the Capodimonte productions, and the Neapolitan mangers are typical and well-known examples.
Cappè combines Baroque roots with the veristic and neoclassical folk traditions, combining them with an original commitment to humorous invention.

Cappè's verismo style has already made history: it is recognizable and recognized, having achieved perfection of craft and the hallmark of invention in the field of high creative craftsmanship.
Cappè trained as an employed sculptor, then began producing his own sculptures in 1958.
He created approximately 250 models continuously throughout his life, and sculpture was his primary motivation, so much so that he became confused with it. This piece has an attribution mark,
