We offer you a spectacular piece: a large antique ceramic panel, composed of 15 assembled tiles, depicting Jack the Ripper in the Whitechapel district of London. A rare, theatrical, and fascinating work, whose visual presence leaves no one indifferent. A powerful scene, straddling dark history and symbolism. In the foreground, Jack the Ripper stands in front of a church, surrounded by female silhouettes reminiscent of the women of Whitechapel. The composition is treated in a monochrome palette, accentuated by a single touch of red: Jack's scar, a striking symbol of his crimes and a dramatic highlight at the heart of the piece. In the background, the blades of a mill and London’s architecture enhance the dark and foggy atmosphere of a Victorian London haunted by unease. Signature and artistic subtleties The work is signed Bernierra in the lower left corner. A captivating detail is revealed in the signature: a hidden face, integrated by the artist with great finesse, offering an additional level of intrigue and mystery. Sculptural ceramic & carefully crafted framing Each tile showcases remarkable work in shaping and firing, giving relief and depth to the scene. The whole is presented in a sleek and elegant black wooden frame, which perfectly highlights the visual power of the ceramic, making it a piece ready for display. Dimensions 80 × 50 cm (framed) Authenticity: Original Weight: 8 Type: Decorative object Origin: France Period: Contemporary Country of origin: France Height: 50 Width: 80
