Figure en porcelaine blanche représentant une femme debout, Meissen, circa 1950 A Meissen white figure of a lady (Stehende), circa 1950Modelled by Paul Scheurich a cloth draped around her shoulders and hip, on a flat rockwork base, 35.7cm high crossed swords mark in underglaze-blue, incised model number A.1206, impressed crossed swords mark and 'weiss', impressed 149 and date code for 1950FootnotesThe model for the standing woman was sold by Käthe Scheurich to the Meissen manufactory in December 1927 along with the large bust of Scheurich's sister, Louise (see lot 77), and the large version of the seated hunter (see footnote to lot 66). Due to illness, Scheurich had been unable to work for more than four years, and the price paid by the manufactory (RM 3,000 for the bust and RM 1,500 for the standing woman) are evidence of Max Adolf Pfeiffer's kindness; the profit from the sales of these models did not cover the acquisition costs (Rafael 1995a, no. 33).
