Description

Large rare Meissen figurine "Susanne". Original title Round, naturalistically designed base with waves in relief, applied reeds and shells. A female nude seated on a high, fern-covered rock on the shore, her head turned sharply to the left and wearing a scarf with a pattern of kakiemon blossoms. Her right arm is outstretched while she covers her breast with her left. Polychrome painting with gold contouring. Designed by Emmerich Andresen, c. 1889, model no. O 142, unmarked; sword mark. Meissen. Late 19th century. H. 50 cm. The biblical subject of "Susanna in the bath", which has often been taken up in the visual arts, in which the girl is surprised by two older men while bathing, is given form here by Andresen with an antique-like, classical habitus. Susanna is depicted at the moment when she notices her observers, turns around in fright and covers herself. The sculptor Emmerich Andresen (1843 - 1902), who trained in Hamburg and Dresden under Ernst Gottfried Vivié and Ernst Hähnel respectively, was appointed head of the design department at the Meissen porcelain manufactory in 1886. He became known above all for his large-scale bronze and marble sculptures and monuments in Dresden, Meissen and Tübingen. His models, mostly allegorical, are characterized by a classical-realistic style, with stylistic features typical of large-scale sculpture. Cf. Jedding, Meissen Porcelain of the 19th and 20th Centuries, p. 141; Thieme-Becker, vol. I, p. 481. A large rare porcelain figure of a female nude "Susanne". Insignificantly restored. Crossed swords mark. Meissen. Late 19th century.
