GRAJEK, AL Lalouette, silvered bronze, 2nd half of the 19th century 19th century

A figurine in a historicizing style showing a wandering musician. The boy sings to the accompaniment of a hurdy-gurdy - an instrument extremely popular in the Middle Ages and the Renaissance. Grajek was shown wearing an outfit appropriate to the era - flat shoes with a toe, narrow trousers and a tunic. The details of the sculpture are emphasized by the bronze that emanates from under the silvering.
