This is certainly a sense of fun and whimsy to this clay piece by Roxanne Swentzell.  It is entitled “The Thinking Hat”.  It is one of the classic style pieces by Roxanne in terms of the body and the face.  The feet are at an angle and the figure is wearing a floppy hat.  The hat band says, “Thinking” and she appears to be looking up trying to decide if it is helping or not!  The hands and feet are delineated and the face is playful.  Roxanne is able to achieve such a sense of fun and emotion in the faces of her figures!  This is one of those pieces that you can’t help but smile when you see it! This figure is in perfect condition with no chips, cracks, restoration or repair.  This piece is from early 2000 and signed in the clay, “ROX”.
