About the Item
A marvelous combination of whimsy and sensuosity, Ferdinand Liebermann's depiction of a nude youth holding forth with a stork, symbol of wisdom, was first cast in bronze in 1906, and later in porcelain by Rosenthal in 1911. The high gloss of the milky glaze gives the youth a highly-polished, streamlined appearance, but the finely detailed feet and hands are given an expressive, animated energy. Liebermann was best known for his architectural sculpture and monuments preservation, but in 1909 he started to sculpt for Rosenthal porcelain. This piece is the larger of two sizes produced by Rosenthal, and is a very rare example where the stork is glazed in color, while the youth is largely finished in pure white.
