EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases a delicate porcelain figurine titled "Peasant Woman, manufacturer Meissen Porcelain Factory, Germany". Created between 1740-1750 by the German School of artists in the 18th century, this exquisite piece stands at a height of 17.20 cm and measures 10.10 cm in width and 6.80 cm in depth. The Meissen Porcelain Factory played a pivotal role in introducing true hard-paste porcelain to Europe during this period. Alongside their renowned tableware creations, they also popularized small porcelain sculptures like this one, designed primarily as dining table decorations. Depicting a female peasant figure with an intricately detailed basket on her arm, this figurine exemplifies the realistic subjects that emerged in the 1740s. The craftsmanship is truly remarkable; every fine detail has been meticulously captured by either Johann Joachim Kaendler or Peter Reinicke - two talented modelers who worked at the Meissen factory during that time. Now housed within the Cleveland Museum of Art in Ohio, USA, this artwork serves as a testament to both historical significance and artistic excellence. Its presence transports viewers back to an era where such miniature sculptures adorned lavish dining tables across Europe. With its timeless beauty and cultural importance, this photograph invites us to appreciate not only the skillful artistry but also the rich history behind each delicate stroke on its porcelain surface.
