This is a large and impressive vintage porcelain figure group, beautifully crafted in the Capodimonte and Dresden style. The romantic scene features an 18th-century couple seated on a rocky outcrop beneath a tree. The gallant serenades his lady with a lute (or mandolin), while she gazes at him, her gown exquisitely detailed with a full skirt of delicate, intricate Dresden lace.

The entire piece is hand-painted with fine floral details and finished with lavish gold gilt accents on the rococo-style base. This substantial figurine is a testament to the masterful craftsmanship associated with German porcelain and is a true statement piece.
