A 19th C. Meissen Porcelain Female Nude Figurine After The Bath, R. Ockelmann

Product Description

A 19th C. Meissen Porcelain Female Nude Figurine After The Bath, M 193b, R. Ockelmann. This exquisite porcelain sculpture was skillfully created by the talented artist R. Ockelmann. The figurine portrays a partially nude woman, her visage delicately painted with a hint of blush, casting a gentle gaze towards her foot as she prepares to wear her sandal. Adorned with a luxuriant mass of thick, pale wavy hair, elegantly styled in a low bun, she emanates an air of timeless beauty.

Her form is veiled by a pale yellow robe, adorned with darker yellow banding, gracefully draped around her midsection. With her left hand, she not only clasps one of her pretty red sandals, but also holds the drapery in place, while her right hand reaches down to secure the other sandal onto her freshly washed foot. She balances with her left foot upon a rock, and as a final touch of natural beauty, an enchanting ivy plant with lush green leaves gracefully ascends the sides, harmoniously complementing the captivating scene. The entire tableau rests upon a splendid swooping step pedestal. This ornate base features meticulously crafted maritime motifs in intricate relief, lending an aura of nautical splendor. Encircling the pedestal is a gilt banding.
