Old lady with goat

In the hills of Provence, the goat was the poor family's cow. It made do with the garrigue, provided milk for the household and made it possible to produce the small cheeses sold at market. Many old village women lived this way, with one or two goats as their only wealth. The Old Woman with Her Goat pays tribute to this humble, pastoral Provence.

At 20 cm, this santon belongs to our large sizes. It is an exceptional piece, made to be admired up close: the face, the costume and the animal come fully into their own. This model is made to order only, with a lead time that varies with the season.

A figure of this size calls on all the skill of our Aix-en-Provence workshop. After being molded in clay and having its parts assembled with slip, the santon is retouched by hand, then dries slowly, for up to two months for the largest sizes. The gradual firing rises to 960 °C, then our painters decorate the piece by hand, color after color.

To order it, please send us a request by email. This piece is not shipped. You can discover our large sizes at our shop-workshop at 65 cours Gambetta, in Aix-en-Provence.
