About the Item
Ballet Dancer. Rosenthal Selb Porcelain Manufactory. Model 1772
Porcelain figurine representing the ballet dancer Sybille Spalinger, made by the Rosenthal Art Department (Kunstabteilung) at the Selb factory.
The sculpture portrays the celebrated German ballerina Lisa Spalinger in the role of Sybille from the ballet Raymonda, created by choreographer Marius Petipa and Russian composer Alexander Glazunov. Lisa Spalinger was born in Berlin to a German mother and a Swiss father. After performing in operettas in Hamburg, she joined what is now the Deutsche Oper Berlin at the age of 18, becoming its prima ballerina.
During the Nazi era, artists were not permitted to leave Germany, but Spalinger, holding Swiss citizenship, managed to escape by train in 1945. She later danced with a ballet company in Bern, Switzerland.
Model number 1772.
Height: 27 cm.
Designed in 1947 by Lore Friedrich-Gronau (1905–2002), a noted German sculptor and illustrator who collaborated with Rosenthal as a freelance artist from 1939 to 1961.
White porcelain, hand-painted with gold details.
Marked under the glaze with the green Rosenthal Selb Kunstabteilung stamp; bears the sculptor’s impressed initials and model number (1772) with additional marks 22 L F G corresponding to Lore Friedrich-Gronau’s signature.
