Pierrot with Fish

Given threatening thunderstorms I pursued an indoor blip. (It's fun large.)

These are from our sideboard (cherry wood), rearranged (don't worry, the fish means no harm). The small figure seems to be a variant on Pierrot, a stock character with an extended history; its "origins are in the late 17th-century Italian troupe of players performing in Paris and known as the Comédie-Italienne." My wife received it as a gift over 20 years ago; we have no idea of its specific origins. The ceramic fish, also a gift, is perhaps from an American craft fair.

You can see the sideboard in the left rear of this blip; it was then already in place, but still piled high with books from our move!
