Male Figurine Appraisal

Porcelain Rococo-Style Male Figurine

This is a small porcelain figurine depicting a male figure, likely influenced by the Rococo style, given the attire and general aesthetic. The figure is shown seated, with the body slightly leaning forward. He wears a meticulously detailed blue jacket with a white jabot and possibly cuffs, and his breeches appear to be a light green or aqua color. His footwear consists of black shoes with visible buckles. The figure's hair is light-colored, possibly painted yellow or a faded blonde, styled in a manner typical of the 18th century, with a slight side part. His facial features are delicately painted with dark eyebrows, small eyes, and a hint of a smile. The hands are particularly prominent, especially the left hand which seems to be holding an object that is not entirely clear but appears to be white and possibly textured. The figurine exhibits a glossy, glazed finish, suggesting it is made of porcelain or glazed ceramic. The colors are vibrant yet somewhat muted, contributing to an antique appearance. There are no obvious signs of significant damage like chips or cracks on the visible areas, though a full inspection would require examining all sides. The craftsmanship appears to be of a reasonable quality, with attention paid to the details of the clothing and facial expression. The base on which he sits is subtly colored in a reddish-brown tone. The style suggests it could be a collectible decorative item from the mid-20th century or earlier, reproducing a classical 18th-century European aesthetic.
