One figurine depicting Rigoletto, the deformed jester from the famous Verdi opera with the famous aria La donna \u00e8 mobile. The standing sculpture is made of patinated plaster and engraved on the square base RIGOLETTO.\u00a0The other figure represents Quasimodo, the main protagonist of the novel The Hunchback of Notre-Dame by Victor Hugo. A deformed\u00a0 and quite suffering character : the hump, the leek on the forehead, the aching posture and the anguished expression of the face are the elements of a characteristic physiognomic repertoire of popular and grotesque\u00a0 caricature figurines\u00a0 in Europe. On the back of the base of the Rigoletto we find the initials MDPS probably referring to the manufacturer. With a lovely patina, both sculptures are realized in pastiglia, decorated in brown and ivory tones.\u00a0 Good condition, signs of wear and use, minimal scratchers of the dark patina. Measures: Height: 27 cm - width: 14.5 cm - depth: 12.5 cm."}
