It is a man with a pale face, raised eyebrows, dark eyes looking upward, a thick dark moustache, and an open mouth showing teeth, in an expressive, almost theatrical grimace. He wears a small rounded cap with a brown fur-like brim and a patterned crown in blue and yellow. On his back rises a tall, open, yellow basket with vertical ribbing and a white interior. His long coat is white with blue edging, yellow scalloped trim, a vertical row of round yellow buttons, horizontal yellow and blue bands, and sleeves densely painted with small flowers in blue, yellow, brown, and green. His hands, held together at the waist, appear bound or joined by a dark brown cord-like form. Below, a long flared skirt or lower garment, widening toward the floor, is covered in deep blue floral scrollwork on a lighter blue ground, finished with a yellow wavy border. The glaze is glossy, with fine painted detail and slightly modeled folds. A small chip is visible at the front lower edge.","contexto":"This faience figure was made at the Strasbourg Factory in France between 1745 and 1750. According to the Cleveland Museum of Art, the Hannong family ran one of the most important and influential French faience factories in Strasbourg for several decades in the mid-18th century, a place where German and French ceramic styles and techniques met and merged. The source also notes that these figures were copied from a pair made in Chantilly porcelain, which in turn depended on a Meissen prototype. The identity of the character represented is not stated in the source; it is not known with certainty who he was meant to be.","como_mirarla":"Start with the face and its open mouth, then follow the claspt hands down the row of buttons. Look next at the open basket on the back: it changes the figure from portrait into container. Finally, compare the floral sleeves with the denser blue pattern at the base.","dato_curioso":"The basket on his back is not solid: its open, hollow top reveals that the figure is also a vessel, not only a sculpture.","preguntas":["How does the meaning change when you discover that the basket makes this figure a container as well as a character?","What idea of a foreign or distant person might an 18th-century French workshop have been selling through this costume and expression?","What is gained and what is lost when a model travels from Meissen to Chantilly and then to Strasbourg, changing material at each step?"]},"es":{"titulo":"Figura — Fábrica de Estrasburgo (Francia), 1745-1750, fayenza.

Es un hombre de rostro pálido, cejas levantadas, ojos oscuros mirando hacia arriba, bigote grueso y oscuro, y boca abierta que deja ver los dientes, en una mueca expresiva, casi teatral. Lleva un gorro pequeño y redondeado, con borde marrón que imita piel y copa con motivos azules y amarillos. A la espalda se alza una cesta alta, abierta, amarilla, con costillas verticales e interior blanco. Su abrigo largo es blanco con ribetes azules, cenefas amarillas onduladas, una hilera vertical de botones redondos amarillos, franjas horizontales amarillas y azules, y mangas cubiertas de florecitas azules, amarillas, marrones y verdes. Las manos, juntas a la cintura, parecen atadas o unidas por una forma oscura, marrón, semejante a una cuerda. Debajo, una falda larga o prenda inferior, que se ensancha hacia el suelo, está cubierta de motivos florales azul intenso sobre fondo azul más claro y remata en un borde amarillo ondulado. El esmalte es brillante, con detalle pictórico fino y pliegues ligeramente modelados. Se nota una pequeña rotura en el borde inferior delantero.","contexto":"Esta figura de fayenza fue realizada en la Fábrica de Estrasburgo, Francia, entre 1745 y 1750. Según el Cleveland Museum of Art, la familia Hannong dirigió durante varias décadas, a mediados del siglo XVIII, una de las fábricas francesas de fayenza más importantes e influyentes, en un lugar donde se encontraron y fusionaron estilos y técnicas cerámicas alemanas y francesas. La fuente señala además que estas figuras se copiaron de una pareja ejecutada en porcelana de Chantilly, que a su vez dependía de un prototipo de Meissen. La identidad del personaje representado no consta en la fuente; no se sabe con certeza a quién se buscaba representar.","como_mirarla":"Empieza por el rostro y su boca abierta, y baja luego por las manos juntas hasta la hilera de botones. Mira después la cesta abierta de la espalda: convierte a la figura de retrato en recipiente. Al final, compara las flores de las mangas con el dibujo azul, más denso, de la parte baja.","dato_curioso":"La cesta que lleva a la espalda no es maciza: su parte superior, abierta y hueca, revela que la figura también es un recipiente, no solo una escultura.","preguntas":["¿Cómo cambia el sentido al descubrir que la cesta convierte a esta figura en recipiente además de personaje?","¿Qué idea de una persona extranjera o lejana podía estar vendiendo un taller francés del siglo XVIII con este traje y esta expresión?","¿Qué se gana y qué se pierde cuando un modelo viaja de Meissen a Chantilly y luego a Estrasburgo, cambiando de material en cada paso?"]}},"etiquetas":{"en":["faience","18th century","french ceramics","strasbourg","figurine","vessel","painted flowers","costume","theatrical expression","decorative art","copy and prototype","blue and yellow"],"es":["fayenza","siglo xviii","cerámica francesa","estrasburgo","figurilla","recipiente","flores pintadas","vestuario","expresión teatral","artes decorativas","copia y prototipo","azul y amarillo"]},"objetos":["figura masculina de cerámica","cesta abierta a la espalda","gorro con borde marrón","abrigo largo floreado","falda azul con motivos florales","botones amarillos","fondo gris oscuro de estudio"],"colores":["#202025","#f3eee3","#7fa3c9","#2f4f8f","#c99a1f","#6e4b32"],"animo":["teatral, colorida y curiosa"],"epoca":"1745–50","certeza":"alta","advertencias":["representación estereotipada de época en vestuario y rasgos","stereotyped period representation in costume and features"],"capa":{"voces":[{"guia":"la restauradora","en":"This Strasbourg faience figure, made between 1745 and 1750, draws my eye to its glossy glaze and condition. I notice the glassy shine, the gently modeled folds and the fine painting of tiny blue, yellow and green flowers. I also see the small chip on the lower front edge and how the dark studio background makes the yellows and blues stand out. I am interested that the Hannong family blended French and German techniques, and that this piece copies a Chantilly pair itself based on a Meissen prototype.","es":"Esta figurilla de fayenza de Estrasburgo, hecha entre 1745 y 1750, me hace mirar el esmalte brillante y su estado.

The contrast of the pale face with the dark moustache heightens that expression. His small cap with a brown rim and the yellow basket on his back create a crisp silhouette against the background that fades from near-black to medium grey. We do not know who he portrays, but his gesture invites us to imagine what story or scene he was watching.","es":"Me detengo en su mirada hacia arriba, con ojos oscuros muy abiertos y boca entreabierta, como si observara algo en el cielo con asombro teatral.
