[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 4600103, member: 2844"]This is the most exquisite example of the porcelain miniature Tyrolean boy I've ever seen. It is not a portrait as such, but a fashonable subject, just like the Greek girl, also called Gypsy girl, German country people, etc. Anything 'ethnic' and 'peasant-y' that appealed to people in smog-filled bustling cities, and made them dream of a clean and authentic rural life. A form of escapism.[/QUOTE]
