Antique porcelain figurine Sitzendorf, lady with tambourine

  
Beautiful porcelain figure of a girl playing the tambourine. Near her feet lies a sheep, an idyllic composition often present in German porcelain.

An influx of artists from regions in Germany prompted both revitalisation of older styles and creative innovation which we can see in this piece. Note the bold use of overlapping styles to the clothes and the colours.
