porcelain biscuit group known as "The Triumph of the Grape Harvesting Children ." It depicts children carrying a grapevine, upon which one of them triumphs with a ewer and a glass of wine. Some appear to be intoxicated. One has fallen and is trying to get up. This amusing sculpture highlights the grape harvest, an important moment in the agricultural season that takes place in the autumn. A time of intense collective work, it is accompanied by numerous celebrations in the villages and, for this reason, is often associated with revelry and drinking.

This small representation is in fact a moral critique by the bourgeoisie of the excesses of the rural population of the 19th century.

This is a work from the late 19th century.
