Very rare art ceramic figurine from the early 1930s: standing young lady with a pullman cap and bob hairstyle, head turned to the left, in a long-sleeved shirt with wide sleeves and long, straight trousers with creases, checkered scarf, a guitar tucked under the right arm that is hanging down, the left hand in the trouser pocket. On a cream octagonal base, with irregular stone base decoration, artist's signature 'dakon' on top, behind the figure. This design reflects the so-called 'garconne mode', which was a popular, male-style women's fashion from 1924 until after 1928. Suit jackets in men's style and paletot coats and the typical bob haircut were characteristic of this trend.
