Terracotta merchant, 13 cm Angela Tripi

Terracotta merchant, 13 cm Angela Tripi.
Among the various stalls in the market we find her, a woman with a tired and melancholy face, close to her terracotta works. The seller looks at bowls and amphorae she has made with dedication and care, hoping that some passers-by will be able to appreciate them and buy them.
All the statues are handmade, in terracotta and cloth, then meticulously painted by hand. It is a true work of art made with skill and attention at Angela Tripi's artistic atelier. Normally, the statues of the traditional nativity scene, for example the Neapolitan one, are made with a skeleton made with fabrics and with the ends in terracotta (the head, hands and feet).
The statues of the artist Angela Tripi instead have completely formed bodies: they are modeled naked and subsequently dressed with fabrics and small jewels. In her works, the artist tells a story: each statue is depicted in a moment of their life, thus allowing us to understand the existence of a before and after. Angela Tripi succeeds in giving each shepherd an amazing realism, never seen before and unrepeatable: her works will never be the same, making them unique.
CHARACTERS MAY DIFFER FROM THE PHOTO AS EVERY SCULPTURE IS A UNIQUE PIECE, BY CHOICE FROM THE ARTIST.
