Limited Masterworks Lady with Handbag

The figure "Lady with Handbag" is an extraordinary masterpiece of Meissen Art Nouveau, based on a design by Alfred König from 1911. With her elegant posture and dynamic movement, the sculpture captures the spirit of an era shaped by social change, refinement, and modern femininity. Like a sophisticated figure strolling through one of Europe's fashionable seaside resorts, the lady confidently moves forward against the "winds of old conventions."

Particularly striking is the elaborate hand-painted decoration. The magnificent hat, enhanced with gold accents and finely detailed blue feathers, forms the visual centerpiece of the composition and gives the figure its unmistakable elegance. Complementing it harmoniously is the golden blouse adorned with delicate ornamental motifs, showcasing the exceptional artistry of Meissen porcelain painting.

The characteristic Art Nouveau design language combines flowing lines with stylized elegance, while also lending the figure vitality and expressive charm. Each example is crafted with the utmost precision and entirely painted by hand.

Strictly limited to only 75 pieces worldwide, "Lady with Handbag" is a highly desirable collector's piece and an impressive example of the union between Meissen porcelain artistry and European design history.
