An early to mid-18th century small 'fruitwood' figural carving, English, probably North Country
Modelled as a reclining man, probably Drunken Barnaby, his head resting on his left hand, his legs crossed, 19.5cm wide x 6.5cm deep x 7cm high, (7 1/2in wide x 2 1/2in deep x 2 1/2in high)
|Drunken Barnaby was a character in Richard Braithwaite's 1638 Latin and English verse poem, Barnabae Itinerarium or Drunken Barnaby's Four Journeys to the North of England, which mainly described the fairs, taverns and hostesses encountered on a tour of the northern counties. The book was re-printed on a number of occasions in the 18th century. The 1723 edition includes an engraving, just before the page on which Part III begins (p. 69), of a similarly dressed man reclining in a landscape outside a town.
