Description
Automaton of a reader with a book, European school, 19th century An automaton depicting a female figure dressed in black with elaborate Victorian-inspired lace, holding a small open book as if reading. The porcelain face, with its delicate features and upward gaze, conveys a contemplative expression, whilst the vertical composition and detailed textile work evoke the bourgeois and domestic aesthetic characteristic of 19th-century decorative automata. The ornate base and miniature accessories add to the piece’s refined and collectable nature. In working order. Dimensions: 41 x 16 x 23 cm.
