A finely modelled pair of German porcelain figures depicting a galant scene with a young man and woman holding flowers, produced by Älteste Volkstedter Porzellanfabrik, Triebner, Ens & Co., in the late 19th century, when Volkstedt’s figure production was actively developed for the international export market. The figures are typical of Volkstedt’s genre output, designed for interior display rather than cabinet scale.
The modelling is controlled and confident, with well-rendered folds of drapery and carefully finished details. The palette is soft and balanced, dominated by pastel tones and discreet gilding. Both figures stand on rocaille bases with applied flowers.
The factory underglaze mark is present on the undersides and dates from approximately 1894 onward. Each figure bears the same impressed form number “66”, confirming original factory pairing.
The combination of scale, paired composition and clean condition makes this an unusually complete example within Volkstedt’s la
...te 19th-century figure production.
