About the Item
The Fishermans wife is one of he classical trades depicted in many Danish art forms. Often shown in realistic paintings while trading, the fisherman's wives where well known for their large vocabulary of less than flattering words, being loud but always with a sense of humor.
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.
Bing & Grøndahl is one of the most famous and sought after Danish figurine and porcelain makers. Style, colour and attention to detail are key in their work. The company started out independantly in the 1800's but due to it’s massive success it was bought by and incorporated into the world famous Royal Copenhagen family.

Kai Nielsen
Kai Nielsen was Denmark's leading figurative sculptor in the first decades of the 20th century. Nielsen was fascinated with nude human figures relating to sea animals such as dolphins and returned to this subject again and again throughout his career. Nielsen was born in Copenhagen into an artistic family. Both of his parents were actors, Nielsen's father, Martinus Nielsen, was the director of Dagmar Theater and his mother, Oda Nielsen, was one of the most celebrated actresses of her time, both at the Royal Danish Theater and at the Dagmar Teatret. Nielsen is also known for his collaborations with Disney for whom he contributed many story sketches and illustrations, not least for Fantasia.
