Female seated figure

Photograph of a seated female figure published in Franco Monti’s volume Terrecotte precolombiane, Fratelli Fabbri Editori, Milan 1966, p. 23. The photograph is accompanied by the brief caption: “Seated female figure. Etzatlan; State of Jalisco, Mexico. Milan, Private collection” and by a more extended description: “Seated female figure. H. 31 cm. Etzatlan; State of Jalisco, Mexico. Milan, Private collection. Modeled with unusual delicacy, this work appears exceptional also for the uncommon sense of movement that animates it; the mobility of the face is accompanied by the measured and expressive gesture of the arms and the grace of the lower limbs.”
