Physiognomic Wine Man

Physiognomic figures were popular during the 18th and 19th Century--human figures creatively composed from inanimate objects that generally were meant to symbolize an occupation or activity.
(See also an article on our site: Physiognomy: You Are the Sum of Your Parts.) This is a 20th century print in an antique style, depicting a man made of wine bottles, grape leaves, pitchers and funnels striding through the countryside. |
