Description
Glazed white porcelain figurine made by Josep Granyer from a drawing by Xavier Nogués. There seems to have been an initial version made of earthenware which was used to produce moulds to make subsequent, slightly different versions in porcelain. Unsuccessful test piece that is smaller than the others that are part of the pair Barcelona couple (c. 1935). This figurine belongs to the Granyer family.
We would like to thank Dr Sofía Isus Ventura for her permission to use a photograph of this piece.
