"Porcelain Scene, Card Players - Geo Maxime Paris - Heubach Stamp"
---Large Porcelain Scene – Geo Maxime Paris – Heubach Mark. A charming and rare figurative scene in polychrome porcelain, signed Geo Maxime Paris and bearing a mark attributed to Heubach, the famous German manufacturer renowned for the quality of its biscuit and porcelain sculptures in the late 19th and early 20th centuries. The composition depicts two 17th-century gentlemen seated at a tavern table, in the midst of a lively card game. The figures are finely modeled: on the left, one player rises sharply, seemingly protesting or indignant; on the right, the other leans back on his stool, still holding his cards, in a theatrical and expressive pose. The table rests on two barrels, surrounded by numerous detailed accessories: scattered cards, bottles, a cup, a rifle, a sword… These elements enhance the liveliness of the scene and demonstrate the care taken in the modeling. Rich and well-preserved colors, very fine quality of execution characteristic of Heubach productions. Period: early 20th centurySignature: Geo Maxime ParisStamp: Heubach (printed under the base)
