This wonderful rendition of that wonderful Pierrot; the sad clown who began during the Commedia D'Arte period, and has been treasured ever since. I am not sure of what this is carved from. While it has the weight of marble, it is not (at least I do not believe it is. It is some type of hard stone or possibly a resin?)
