Pair of busts of Friedrich Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, biscuit porcelain, Germany, early 20th century. Evoking the golden age of German culture, this pair of biscuit porcelain busts pays homage to the leading figures of German Romanticism and Classicism.
Executed with remarkable finesse, the portraits of Friedrich Schiller and Johann Wolfgang von Goethe are distinguished by the purity of the material and the precision of the features, capturing the intellectual intensity and nobility of spirit of these two giants of European thought.
Each bust rests on a simply molded rectangular base bearing the artist's name. The matte and delicate finish of the biscuit porcelain lends the pieces a sculptural presence imbued with restraint and refinement. The hairstyles, expressions, and proportions demonstrate academic skill, likely originating from a German manufacturer intent on perpetuating 19th-century aesthetic standards in 20th-century production.
Dimensions: Height: 17 cm Width: 9.5 cm Depth: 8 cm This pair makes an ideal decorative piece for a library or a refined interior, while embodying a discreet yet powerful homage to European literary heritage.
