Commedia Dell'Arte Leda

This is a figure of Leda made by Nymphenburg in the late 19th or very early 20th century right they were first remade after the original 18th century models. She is one of the commedia dell'arte figurines - one of the greatest set of figures ever designed by the famous Bustelli who made the best porcelain figurines ever! A very ahrd to find figure with the arm still straight out - later the forearm was raised into the air. Superbly modeled with a nice pose and lots of detail left in the white (pure white not off white as the photos show - the camera is giving me a tough time again) to show it off perfectly! She is wearing nice skirt with bows around her neck and in the middle of her chest while staind on a simple yet elegant base typical for this series. The figure has the impressed shield mark underneath and the incised number 85. She is in perfect condition - amazing after all this time and that outstretched arm! The figurine is 7.375 inches tall, 5 inches wide and 4.25 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
