“Plyushkin”

This collectible porcelain figurine depicts the landowner Plyushkin, a memorable character from Nikolai Gogol’s Dead Souls. Its detailed, expressive modelling captures his stooped posture, thoughtful facial features and distinctive layers of clothing. Painted in a restrained palette of earthy colours, the sculpture has a soft, matte surface.

A piece of historical interest that brings a sense of classical drama and scholarly elegance to an interior.
