An old modeller assembles a figure

At a workbench by a bright window lined with cacti and potted plants, an old man in a dark skullcap and a white smock works on an unglazed white figure group crowned by a long-necked bird, holding it in both hands; bowls, jars of slip and small tools lie on the bench before him. The source describes the delicate work of putting together separately hand-modelled and moulded pieces to make the figures of shepherds and shepherdesses, boys and girls and cupids.
