Description from the seller
Goebel M.I. Hummel Porcelain Doll, "First Mate"
This is a set of multi-angle photographs showcasing the Goebel M.I. Hummel (囍/囍) collector-grade porcelain doll, model 2148/B, titled "First Mate." The original German name is Ich möchte mitrudern, which translates directly to "I want to row together."
Character Description: A little boy wearing a light gray sailor's pointed hat, a warm orange-red shirt, navy blue shorts, and brown oversized leather shoes; his right hand tightly grips an oar, his posture lively, with rosy cheeks and round eyes—a signature soft and adorable childlike style of M.I. Hummel.
Theme Meaning: "First Mate" refers to the first mate or assistant on a ship. The child, transformed into a little sailor, represents a love of adventure, a desire to travel with companions, and a childlike dream of sailing.
Base Text: Two lines of text are printed on the back of the base:
German: Ich möchte mitrudern = I want to row with you
English: First Mate = First Mate, Little Sailor
Handwritten Signature in Bottom Right Corner: Signature of the hand-painted artist. Each Sim is hand-painted by an artisan, making each one unique.
Size: Approximately 10cm
