Unique statuette en biscuit représentant une femme à l'éventail, Meissen, circa 1937 A unique Meissen biscuit figure of the lady with fan (Stehende Dame mit Fächer), circa 1937Modelled by Paul Scheurich, the lady with short waved hair wearing a clinging evening dress with pleated flounce on her left hip, her arms crossed with a large ostrich feather fan held to her right hip, on a square base, the side incised 'SCHEURICH 29', 46.5cm high, crossed swords mark in blue to the rear of the base, impressed crossed swords mark within a triangle, incised model number A 1224, impressed former numeral 50 for Hoberg (restoration to fingers on her left hand)Footnotes:Provenance: Heinrich Hoberg, Chief Repairer (Meister der Bossierer) at the Meissen manufactoryExhibited:Meissen, Museum der Meissen Porzellan-Stiftung, Paul Scheurich. Porzellangestalter Zeichner Grafiker, 6 March 2020-21 February 2021This model, together with five others by Scheurich, won the Grand Prix at the Paris World Exhibition of 1937, see Rafael 1995a, no.40.Scheurich modelled the figure in 1929 after spending several weeks in Paris in June and July, where he would have seen the newest fashions. In 1928 womens' dresses started becoming more form-fitting, incorporating asymmetrical hems, swags and ruffles. Scheurich must have been inspired by fashionable women he saw in Paris, modelling the figure in a gauzy dress with deep décolletage and narrow straps, a waterfall of pleats to one side of the skirt and a corsage applied to one shoulder. In her right hand is a large ostrich feather fan, a feature that was very much en vogue at the time. The cover of 'Le Petit Echo de la Mode' from 20 May 1928 shows an illustration that is strikingly similar and could have been the type of thing to inspire him. This style of dress even made its way across the sea and a gown by Chanel was illustrated in the Indianapolis Times on 9 June, 1928 (Noon Edition, p.9), where it was stated: 'A graceful side bow and a shoulder bouquet give charm to a raspberry chiffon evening gown of superb simplicity.'The manufactory made an advance payment for the model in July 1929 of RM 500, though Scheurich was working on several models and so the figure was delivered to the manufactory in March 1930 and the total price of RM 3,800 was paid in the following months. The first figure in porcelain was produced in Autumn 1930 and the first example sold in Spring 1931. Scheurich originally intended the figure to be produced only in white. According to the records of royalty payments, nine figures were sold by the end of 1944.A biscuit figure of the lady with fan was privately commissioned by Annelies von Ribbentrop, for which the chief repairer at the manufactory, Heinrich Hoberg, received his own example.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com

Porzellangestalter Zeichner Grafiker, 6 March 2020-21 February 2021The engravings of Jacques Callot, particularly from 'Il Callotto resuciato oder Neueingerichtes Zwerchen Cabinet' published in Amsterdam in 1716, were an inspiration for some of the earliest figures and scenes made at the Meissen manufactory in the 1720s. Paul Scheurich, a graphic artist himself, thus had a particular fascination for Callot and the translation of his works into porcelain. This and the companion figure are based on plates 21 and 22 of 'Il Callotto resuciato...', depicting 'Mademoiselle Jolicoeur, danceante avec son Amant l'Opera du Village en Provence' and 'Monsr. Gilles Platfues, Maitre de Danse a l'Academie des Lourdeaux' (Rafael 1995a, ills. 38/39.3 and 38/39.4).Scheurich delivered the models for this and the companion male figure in Autumn 1929 to the manufactory, which purchased them for RM 1,500 and RM 1,200, respectively. Scheurich had intended that the figures be left white, but the manufactory nonetheless sent him two different coloured versions for approval, He didn't completely approve of either and later made some improvements in watercolours to an already painted example. The first (unpainted) lady dwarf was sold in December 1931 and eleven had been sold by the end of 1952.For further information on this lot please visit Bonhams.com
