c. 1930

About the Item

Anton Büschelberger (1869 Eger - 1934 Dresden), Pointer, around 1930, made by the Karl Ens porcelain manufactory in Volkstedt (Thuringia), model number 2478, 6. Porcelain with underglaze decoration and terrain plinth. 17 cm (height) x 37 cm (length) x 11 cm (depth). Signed “A. Büschelberger” on the plinth, marked under the base and with the model number. - Plinth and right hind leg with cracks, probably caused by firing, base and underside of the flanks with glaze damage. - The elegance of the hunting dog - With his head slightly bent forward and his tail stretched out, the hound is on the prowl with his front leg slightly raised. He has followed the scent and already has his prey in sight. Anton Büschelberger captures the moment just before the drama of the hunt unfolds, showing the dog in a state of intense, instinctive tension. Every muscle seems to be visible under the fur, giving the animal a special elegance. The coloration, which matches the true-to-life effect of its appearance, was created using an early airbrush technique that produces delicate color gradients that match the shimmer of the porcelain. GERMAN VERSION Anton Büschelberger (1869 Eger - 1934 Dresden), Vorstehhund, um 1930. Ausführung der Porzellanmanufaktur Karl Ens in Volkstedt (Thüringen), Modellnummer 2478, 6. Porzellan mit Unterglasurstaffage und Terrainplinthe. 17 cm (Höhe) x 37 cm (Länge) x 11 cm (Tiefe). Auf der Plinthe mit „A. Büschelberger“ signiert, unter dem Boden gemarkt und mit der Modellnummer versehen. - Plinthe und rechter Hinterlauf mit wohl brandbedingten Rissen, Sockel und Unterseite der Flanken mit Glasurschäden. - Die Eleganz des Jagdhundes - Mit leicht geducktem, nach vorne gerecktem Kopf und ausgestrecktem Schwanz ist der Jagdhund auf der auf der Pirsch und hat den Vorderlauf leicht angehoben. Er ist der Witterung gefolgt und hat die Beute bereits im Blick. Anton Büschelberger zeigt eben jenem Moment, kurz bevor sich das jagdliche Drama abspielt und veranschaulicht den Hund in höchster instinktgeleiteter Anspannung. Jeder Muskel scheint sich unter dem Fell abzuzeichnen, was dem Tier eine besondere Eleganz verleiht. Die zur lebensnahen Wirkung seiner Erscheinung passende Farbigkeit ist mit einer frühen Airbrushtechnik erfolgt, die zarte zum Schimmer des Porzellans passende Farbverläufe erzeugt.
