‘ Spring ‘ a tall elegant figure, painted in vibrant colours with striking facial features and a birds nest hat, reflects the energy and playful nature of the artist. With this figure the Meissen porcelain manufactory demonstrates its ability to combine traditional craftsmanship with contemporary design. The use of porcelain, a material of timeless elegance combined with a bold and modern style, gives this sculpture a unique appeal. A rare find for the discerning collector.
