Object description

A realistic work with elements of Art Deco style, created in the interwar period. The work is executed in white metal and depicts a young woman holding a large jug in her hands, leaning back slightly, and placing her left foot forward. The woman is dressed in a long, flowing dress that falls in drapes to the ground, paired with a short-sleeved shirt. She wears a traditional French peasant cap on her head and clogs on her feet. The huge round jug contrasts sharply with the graceful figure of the young woman. The figure is placed on a round marble base.
