Single Figurines Woman musing, Boettger Stoneware

The female figure "Pensive" by Robert Ullmann is an outstanding example of poetic expression and refined form from the Meissen manufactory. In her contemplative pose, the figure conveys calm, introspection, and a subtle inner strength that captivates the viewer.

Crafted from Böttger stoneware, a robust reddish-brown clay with a fine texture, the figure demonstrates the exceptional precision and attention to detail for which the manufactory is renowned. Developed in the early 18th century by Johann Friedrich Böttger, this material allows for particularly delicate modeling, ensuring that every fold of clothing and body posture appears nuanced and lifelike.

The artist Robert Ullmann (1896-1978) masterfully combined movement, gesture, and expression in his figures. With subtle dynamism and poetic sensitivity, he brings the inner world of his figures to life. In "Pensive," tranquility and elegance merge into a portrayal of profound humanity.

This figure is more than a decorative object - it is a testament to the craftsmanship, artistic vision, and rich tradition of MEISSEN, harmoniously embodied in a timeless work of art.
