Dog Ripping Lady's Skirt Figurine

This is a figure of a lady being attacked by a dog made by Nymphenburg around 1900 or when Baeuml first took over as director and copied the old models. A very different figurine compared to all others in the porcelain world. Showed that Bustelli had a sense of humor! This is the rarer larger version! The lady is painted quite nicely with a very intricate design including lots of bows and the hat has a rose on it that make her look very elegant. The dog has brown spots and is in the process of biting her in the butt but mssing and jsut ripping her skirt. She is marked with the impressed shield mark underneath as well as the incised number 9 1/2 II underneath. The figurine is in great condition with a bit of damage to the bows which is to be expected. One has been restored - the oneright by her face. I have never seen one of these restored as it is a very difficult job so whoever did it was a master at his craft. The figure is 8.5 inches tall, 5.5 inches wide and 4.375 inches deep. Please email me for more information or other pictures.
