Ballerina Western Germany Porcelain Figurine Gentleman Studying Classical Bust

Ballerina Western Germany Porcelain Figurine Gentleman Studying Classical Bust

Description
Charming mid century porcelain figurine by Ballerina, Western Germany. This beautifully detailed piece depicts a seated gentleman studying a classical bust displayed on a wooden pedestal. The modelling is expressive and characterful, with fine facial detailing and softly hand painted tones. The base features elegant gilt scroll decoration which enhances the overall presentation.

This type of narrative figurine was produced in Western Germany during the 1950s to 1970s and was exported widely. It is decorative porcelain rather than a high end factory such as Capodimonte or Royal Doulton, but the larger size and strong storytelling theme make it a very attractive display piece for a study, library or collector of European cabinet figures.
