Description
Genre scene featuring a person, a dog and a cottage. European School. 20th century Cast, embossed and assembled from 800 silver. Measures 10 x 9 x 7 cm. A small, three-dimensional composition featuring a cottage, a tree with outstretched branches, a figure, a dog and various farm animals on a rectangular base. The scene is arranged like a miniature rural theatre, with abundant narrative details and a naïve style that accentuates its domestic charm. The burnished and blackened surfaces create contrasts of light and shadow, whilst the diverse textures distinguish the architecture, vegetation, figures and animals. The piece belongs to the 20th-century European tradition of decorative silver miniatures, in which metalwork is combined with genre storytelling and a collector’s passion. Its visual appeal lies in its rich narrative detail, the complexity of its composition, and the expressiveness achieved through its small size. 10 x 9 x 7 cm
