Band of Dwarves Timpanist

This exceptional porcelain figurine is part of the famous "Dwarf Orchestra" series by Meissen artist Peter Strang, one of the most important figurative sculptors of the 20th century. The piece depicts a timpani player, captured mid-motion as he energetically beats the drum-a humorous yet masterful contribution to Meissen's long-standing tradition of figurative porcelain.

Measuring 18 cm in height and 11 cm in width, the figurine impresses not only with its size but also with its expressive body language and exquisite hand-painted detailing, which brings every feature vividly to life. The vibrant colors, playful forms, and the characteristically whimsical expression are hallmarks of Strang's unmistakable style-a blend of baroque inspiration and modern interpretation.

The "Dwarf Orchestra" pays tribute to the court dwarfs and musician figures of the 18th century, reimagined by Strang with wit and artistic flair. The timpani player is a unique collector's piece-original, finely crafted, and a true highlight of Meissen's porcelain artistry.
