Fairground Art
GAVIOLI - France -end of the 19th century
     

Statue in polychrome carved wood, articulated at the elbow so as to beat time, this figure
- made by Gavioli - is exceptional by its size.

The fairground artist has exaggerated the roundness of this woman’s body yet it is shapely at the same time - the way her hair falls loose and the studied way she is partially dressed accentuate once more the charm of women of that time, particularly those in places of amusement.
