This hand-painted porcelain figurine captures a graceful lady adorned in an elaborate 18th-century costume, featuring a vibrant purple bodice, a flowing blue overskirt, and a white underskirt richly decorated with polychrome floral motifs. A delicate pink sash with a large bow cascades down her back, complementing her elegant pose as she holds a nicely detailed fan, also decorated with floral patterns. Her hair is styled in an elaborate coiffure, topped with a yellow hat and red accent. The figure stands on an ornate, scrolled base accented with gilded details. The base bears a red inscription "PamB4" and a partially visible blue manufacturer's mark, consistent with Volkstedt production from the period. This piece exemplifies the intricate craftsmanship and artistic detail characteristic of late 19th-century German porcelain.
