Large Painted Terracotta Figure of a Boy Playing the Flute by Goldscheider

About the Item

A large painted terracotta figure of a boy playing the flute by Goldscheider. Austrian, c.1895 Measures: Height 115 cm, width 42 cm, depth 53 cm. Marked 'Goldscheider / Reproduction Reservee,' this fine terracotta sculpture dates from around the last decade of the nineteenth century, and depicts a young boy sitting on a small rectangular base playing the flute. Demonstrative of Goldscheider's Orientalist output, of which he was a world-renowned leader, it is sensitively and skilfully rendered, with an high degree of realism and character. Of one piece of terracotta, it is subtly and mutely painted with gentle, warm, tones; for the collector of Goldscheider there are few pieces better.

  • Art Deco Figure, Harlequin with Flute by Josef Kostial, Goldscheider Vienna
    By Goldscheider Manufactory of Vienna
    Located in Vienna, AT
    Very rare Art Deco Goldscheider ceramic figure of the 1920s. Depiction of Till Eulenspiegel in a uniform costume with brown ribbons, framed by a black zigzag pattern, with matching shoes, a large ruff and a brown fool's cap, leaning on a pedestal covered with a colored cloth and playing a flute. On a black oval base with the artist's signature 'Kostial' on the back of the pedestal. Originally from Germany, Till Eulenspiegel allegedly lived as a wandering rogue in the 14th century, born around 1300 in Kneitlingen near Brunswick. He traveled around the Holy Roman Empire and other parts of Europe, as a country traveler he became the protagonist of a Middle Low German collection of swans, which was first published by a Strasbourg publisher without naming an author long after his death around 1510. In later illustrations, the fool's cap became his most important attribute and distinguishing mark, often with 'Donkey ears' and / or bells occupied. 'Eulenspiegel' made his main entrance in English- speaking culture late in the 19th century as 'Owlglass', but was first mentioned in English literature by Ben Jonson in his comedic play The Alchemist. Designed by Josef KOSTIAL...
