Description
15" (38 cm.) A matching pair of bisque figurines depict a young boy and girl as they curtsey to each other,she shyly and he delightedly,each with exceptional sculpted detail of light brown hair she with curls tumbling onto her cheeks,intaglio-sculpted eyes and sculpted detail of tiny teeth,with sculpted and painted costumes,each posed standing on a platform designed to appear as though carpeted,with a draped bench behind. Excellent condition,he with fine professional restoration to right hand outer fingers. Germany,Gebruder Heubach,circa 1910. Outstanding quality of sculpting,the young pair tellingly portray a scene of romantic innocence,each rare in itself but virtually unfindable as a pair.
