It's very nice. The modelling and glaze make it look like banded stone.
My first impression is: fairly recent, but Murillo-esque. Staples holding the canvas and no corner wedges? Very unlikely to be re-stretched.
This is small... 19cm (17 3/8").
I had another that was chromed and had a horse on top, but I gave it away without taking photos.
I have virtually no information on my piece. I didn't know Thun wares existed until I got that much of an ID on it. While I'm confident this...

I would guess Peru, or like that. A souvenir painting. Maybe '70s or '80s. Just guessing, based on quality of work and the frame. I don't see...
Thanks for that. I never would have thought the figurine that old, nor that the shield thingy was a pot. And the book passes a test! Now I'm...
I am sorely, sorely tempted, but I will say no. However... since you have the book close to hand: Is the mark on this figurine Zsolnay? (She's my...
Try right-clicking on the thumbnail and see if it gives you options for opening. If so, try different ones. One will probably have a cropping...
