About the Item
This exquisite porcelain figure, titled "Winter," is produced after with the influence of the artistry of Friedrich Elias Meyer (circa 1723–1785), a distinguished sculptor for the Meissen porcelain manufactory. Rendered with remarkable attention to detail, the figure portrays an allegorical representation of winter, cloaked in a fur-lined robe, with elements symbolizing the season's chill and solitude.
The sculptural composition is characterized by its dynamic posture and finely modeled facial expression, capturing the contemplative essence of winter. The figure is adorned with lavish gilding that accentuates the intricate scrollwork on the Rococo-style base, further enhancing its opulent appeal. The meticulous hand-painted detailing reflects the mastery of European porcelain craftsmanship during the 18th century, paying homage to the tradition of allegorical figures popularized by Meissen.
The underside bears an interlaced “L” mark, indicative of the Sevres mark - but we do not believe it is authentic. We believe this piece is a later interpretation inspired by Meyer's original designs for Meissen. Such figures were highly coveted among European aristocracy, serving as decorative centerpieces in palatial settings.
This allegorical "Winter" figure stands as a testament to the enduring influence of Friedrich Elias Meyer and the cross-cultural artistic exchange between the Meissen and Sevres manufactories. It exemplifies the elegance and sophistication associated with Rococo porcelain art, making it a remarkable addition to any collection of fine European ceramics.
