Description: Porcelain (?) hand-modelled, glazed and painted with dabs of turquoise-blue, green, yellow, orange, and dark red. Figure of a nude man on a small, shallow, triangular base with uneven sides, and of uneven height. He stands on the ball of his right foot. His right leg is bent at the knee, and his left leg, also bent at the knee, is crossed in front of the other leg with the foot in the air. His torso is leaning slightly to the left as he reaches out with both arms to grasp a cockerel which is flying towards the viewer. The man has a long nose, large ears, and hair flying out into two points at the back. His 'cock' is erect (it would probably have dropped off during firing otherwise). | Format: | text/html | License: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/terms.htm | Publisher: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Rights holder: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Subjects: | figure Flynn, Michael studio porcelain | Temporal: | name=late 20th Century; start=1999; end=1999 | Source: | Fitzwilliam Museum | Creator: | The Fitzwilliam Museum, Cambridge, UK | Identifier: | http://www.fitzmuseum.cam.ac.uk/opacdire... | Language: | en-GB | Format: | text/html | Go to resource |
