Description

Encased under a protective glass dome, this intimate unglazed tableau depicts the iconic scene from a well-known porcelain figurine group produced by the famous Meissen porcelain factory in Germany: “Fawn on a Goat” (or “Faun on a Goat”). A young woman of mythological origin, portrayed with delicate modeling and expressive gesture, leans forward with gentle curiosity toward the goat, who is rendered in a softened, almost sorrowful posture.

The piece’s composition and stylization reflect the influence of Rococo porcelain groups popularized by the Meissen and Sèvres manufactories, noted for their romantic storytelling, theatricality, and technical finesse. The figures rest upon a finely sculpted unglazed porcelain base resembling draped fabric, adding a sense of movement and intimacy to the scene. Note the detail and intricacy that is a foundation of Meissen Porcelain.
