Description
Boy playing the bagpipes, circa 1490-1520, (1881). Etching of a terracotta statuette made in Florence by Andrea della Robbia of the della Robbia family of ceramic artists, in the late 15th-early 16th century. The polychrome enamelled figure is life-size, and was probably originally part of an altarpiece. It was given to the Museum by Prince Albert. From "The South Kensington Museum", a book of engraved illustrations, with descriptions, of the works of art in the collection of the Victoria & Albert Museum in London (formerly known as the South Kensington Museum).
