Pair of Dresden Porcelain Sculptures

About the Item

Pair of Dresden porcelain sculptures representing a lady and gentleman of the aristocracy. Polychrome and gilded decoration, on white porcelain and a round base decorated in various tones. The lady is depicted with a graceful and slightly inclined posture, delicately holding two spinning reels. The costume simulates fine, light fabrics, decorated with small floral motifs in shades of pink, green and orange. The layers of the dress are highlighted by soft blue ruffles and ribbons. The hairstyle, carefully sculpted with curls and decorated with a blue ribbon, which matches the details of the dress, with a serene expression, reinforces the idea of elegance and delicacy. The shoes, painted in pink with blue details like the gentleman's, add a touch of charm to the figure. The gentleman complements the lady with an equally detailed and exquisite outfit. He wears a light lilac coat, decorated with gold buttons and fine embroidery. The vest, in shades of white, pink and gold, features floral prints that echo the piece's romantic theme. Striped pants in soft colors, such as yellow, pink and green, create a harmonious contrast with the rest of the outfit.
