A hand-painted bisque porcelain figurine of a wayfarer or hobo character, produced in the Italian Capodimonte style. The figure is depicted in a jovial, relaxed pose, seated upon a rustic wooden-effect fence on a cobblestone-textured base. He holds a wine bottle labelled VINO in his right hand. Detail elements include a pair of discarded boots resting on the fence and a tied burlap-style sack at his feet. The character is dressed in a worn black jacket with a decorative patch on the back, a checkered shirt, and patched orange-brown trousers. The figurine features a matte finish throughout. No factory backstamps or maker signatures are visible on the exterior surfaces of the piece.
