- The dignity of the farmer's wife -
Equipped with a stool and milk churn, the farmer's wife goes about her daily milking of the cows. The typical earth tones of Royal Copenhagen's underglaze painting emphasize the rusticity of the scene. The farmer's wife, like Constantin Meunier's peasants, is not weighed down by the burden of daily work, but radiates a dignity that is reflected in the glamorous appearance of the porcelain.
The gap in the outer garment above the apron, which allows the fabric underneath to show through, is an artistic idea that further enlivens the figure.

- Die Würde der Bäuerin -
Mit Schemel und Milchkanne ausgerüstet begibt sich die Bäuerin zum alltäglichen Melken der Kühe. Die typischen irdenen Töne der Royal Copenhagener Unterglasurmalerei unterstreichen die Ländlichkeit der Szene. Die Bäuerin ist nicht von der Last alltäglicher Arbeit gebeugt, sondern strahlt – den Landarbeitern Constantin Meuniers vergleichbar – eine Würde aus, die in der glanzvollen Erscheinung des Porzellans abstrahlt.
Die den darunterliegenden Stoff durchscheinen lassende Lücke im Obergewand über der Schürze ist ein kunstvoller Einfall, der die Figur zusätzlich verlebendigt.

This particular figurine is depicted in working clothes, resting her hand on the hip to take a bit of the weight of the heavy basket off of her back.
She was designed by Kai Nielsen and given the model number 1702. The colors are vibrant and attention detail is high, making it a true Kai Nielsen.
