Michael Sutty Limited Figure Maruja The Strong
A rare study based on the painting of Sir William Flint of a woman holding two water pitchers.
Although the limited edition size of 350 is listed, very few of these figures were actually made. Includes original certificate, photograph, and letter from the studio. The painting by Sir William Flint, completed in 1935, depicts a semi naked young woman demonstrating her incredible strength to a group of Spanish peasants. The fact that she can lift, outstretched from her arms, what we perceive as full jugs of water, denotes not only her strength, but also her beauty and vigor. The title, Maruja the Strong, is a play on words, as Maruja is not only a variant of the female name Maria, but is also a slang word in Spanish for 'good wife'. #maruja #femaleempowerment
