Folk Pottery Girl in Blue With Violin

More finds this week from the Rockport, MA estate of an artist, activist, teacher, world traveller, lifelong collector and dear friend to me--including this one. Unsigned,  she was hand-sculpted of clay and hand-painted, and I've got to say I think she's really terrific; not a saccharine, cute sort of figurine, but I think rather a nuanced sort of a portrait, which makes me think about performance anxiety, imposter syndrome and all the pressures of being a person in the world! But, armed with her (metapohorical, too!) violin, I'd trust she could play herself out of any situation! 

4 1/2 x 2” w x 1 11/16" d and in very good condition.
