Item Details
Description
Standing figures in stylish period fashion, showing a variety of patterns. Female feeding doves from apron. Male give treat to dog.
This pair is modeled in traditional period dress and meticulously decorated to show off the variety of skill and imagination of the world renowned German porcelain manufacturer. Intricately decorated down to the lace in her bodice and ruffles in his open shirt, these figures depict the imaginary vision of bucolic French country folk - young female  in three quarters length blouse, open neck  to bust line, lace collaret around neck, large print flower medallions ornaments her tight waist coat and lace bodice. She holds a pale yellow apron with lace edge which sits atop two more layers of patterned dress, her pink buckled slippers showing just out from under her petticoat. She is feeding doves from her apron clutched in one hand and the other feeding the birds that are individually modeled and sit at her feet pecking the seed.The realistic grain swaddled in her billowing apron shows the depth of care that took to make these. Peasant gentleman standing contra pasto looking at man's most loyal friend. The man holds a treat in his raised right  coaxing the brown and white canine to beg or sit. He cradles his large brim brown hat under this same arm. He wears the same elaborate large print rose medallion material as his female companion for his coat with an unbuttoned ruffled shirt underneath.His dress is completed with a gilt edged, stippled pattern waistcoat over purplish striped trousers, white hosiery and brown slippers with elaborate bow. A leather satchel with orange strap hangs from his right shoulder with one hand inside to procure treats for his gentle beast. A supportive brocage tree stump anchors his back leg. Both marked with cross swords of Meissen.
