Single Figurines Horse named Grande

Calm yet commanding, the "Pferd Grande" stands on its pedestal. Its clear, upright posture, finely modeled head, and powerful body lend the figure a majestic aura. Particularly striking is the interplay between the slender, delicate legs and the muscular torso-a naturalistic depiction in which Erich Oehme masterfully combines elegance, strength, and the horse's characteristic anatomy. For this figure, Oehme-one of the 20th century's most significant animal sculptors-took award-winning specimens from renowned stud farms as his models. Through careful observation of nature and great sensitivity, he translated their expression and posture into the sculpture. The pure white of Meissen porcelain draws the eye entirely to form, proportion, and modeling. Light and shadow trace the contours of the body, bringing even the finest details to the fore. At the same time, the shaping of this large sculpture places the highest demands on the art of craftsmanship: The combination of delicate legs and a powerful body requires great experience in modeling, while numerous supports secure the figure during firing. Thus, "Pferd Grande" combines natural elegance with technical mastery and the unique expressiveness of white porcelain.
