This signed ceramic sculpture by artist Jack Black, dated 2000, features a stylized female figure in a seated position, gracefully draped in a flowing blue cloak. The figure is rendered in a modern minimalist style, with simplified facial features and clean, fluid lines. Resting beside her is a hand-formed clay pot, warm in tone and texturally distinct from the figure’s cloak, creating a beautiful contrast of materials and hues.
The soft speckled blue glaze of the cloak, matte bisque-like finish on the skin, and the natural clay tone of the pot all contribute to the piece’s earthy, contemplative presence. It is signed “Jack Black 2000 ©” on the underside.
