Antique Ginori Italian Porcelain Figurine - Young Man in 18th Century Dress, Companion to "The Weeping Maiden" - 3.25" Tall
A beautifully painted antique Ginori porcelain figurine of a young man in animated 18th century Continental dress — the companion piece to the Ginori "The Weeping Maiden" figurine. Richard Ginori, founded in Doccia, Italy in 1735, is one of the most prestigious porcelain manufacturers in the world, and these paired figural subjects are among the most collectible of their output.
The young man is depicted mid-stride, carrying a jug or vessel tucked under his arm, dressed in a dark green jacket, deep crimson breeches, white stockings, and black shoes. His face is painted with fine, expressive features and a lively bearing. He stands on a naturalistic rocky base with a gnarled tree trunk support at the rear — a hallmark of the Ginori figural style.
Sold individually, this figure pairs beautifully with the Ginori "The Weeping Maiden" also available in our shop — together they make a stunning display pair. A distinguished addition to any collection of antique Italian porcelain or European decorative arts.
