Band Master automaton

from a 89keys GAVIOLI, turn of 19th century

Wooden polychromatic statue articulated at the elbow so as to beat time, this figure, made by Gavioli, is exceptional in size.

The fairground artist has exaggerated the roundness of this woman’s body, yet it is shapely at the same time – the way her hair falls loose and the studied way she is partially dressed accentuate once more the charm of women of that time, particularly those in places of amusement.
