An enamelled pipe clay statuette attributed to Haguenau, with a polychrome petit feu decoration, representing a man using a bellows to maintain a fire. On his head is a yellow straw hat. He is wearing a white jacket, decorated with purple flowers, revealing a white garment, unbuttoned at the neck. He wears a pink and purple striped pants, which is also decorated with wavelets and blue dots. He also wears white stockings, as well as purple shoes, attached by a red button. The man is standing leaning on a tree trunk, as well as putting his feet on a green base, evoking grass. At his feet is a pile of branches consumed by red flames, on which the man blows to maintain them. The figure presented could evoke Winter, given the bald tree, as well as the motif of fire, synonymous of warmth, in opposition to the coldness of winter.
