Description from the seller
Elegant group in polychrome porcelain from the Aelteste Volkstedter manufactory depicting a trio of musicians in 18th-century costumes: a flutist, a female musician with the string instrument, and a musician at the keyboard.
The composition stands out for the finesse of the faces, the detail of the hands and instruments, as well as the delicate porcelain lace adorning the costumes. The garments in vivid colors feature floral motifs and gilded highlights.
The ensemble rests on a Rococo-style pedestal, decorated with scrolls and rocailles edged in gold. A miniature sheet music completes this charming concert scene.
