Description
13" (33 cm.) All-bisque figural group depict a young boy and girl posed upon a bisque rocky knoll,he with blind fold and she trying to escape his grasp. Each has wonderful definition of hair and costume sculpting with deeply-tousled curls,ruffles,ribbons,painted flowers and gilt accents,while their facial expressions are well-sculpted to heighten the amusing scene: the boy's eyes slyly peek out from under his blind fold,and the little girl has laughing expression enhanced by deeply-impressed cheek dimples. Excellent condition. Germany,circa 1910,attributed to Gebruder Heubach.
