Sculpture Gertrude by Joel Baudouin from 1962

Glazed ceramic sculpture by Joël Baudouin made in 1962, it is the Gertrude model. The "Gertrude" by Joël Baudouin is a polychrome glazed earthenware figurine, often depicting a stylised female character sometimes holding an umbrella. These pieces, signed "jb" for Joël Baudouin, are emblematic of his artistic universe, blending humour, surrealism, and a baroque touch. Baudouin, a French ceramist and painter (1930-2013), left a mark on ceramic art with his creations that are both functional and sculptural, often inspired by mythologies, fantastic animals, or tragicomic scenes.
