A Charming Italian Clown — 1980s Resin Sculpture
A splendid vintage polychrome resin figurine from the 1980s, depicting a clown at the wheel of a small vintage Fiat car. The piece captures the whimsical, nostalgic spirit of Italian decorative art from the era.
The figurine bears the designer's signature engraved on the fold of the clown's garment, along with the catalog code D 5073 and "Italy" on the base — confirming its Italian origin and production.
A NOTE ON STYLE
The object displays the typical Italian artisanal manufacture of the period and fits perfectly within the stylistic tradition of the celebrated Tuscan sculptures of Auro Belcari. While no definitive attribution can be confirmed, the resin workmanship, the subject, and the signature style all point to this artistic milieu.
