Pair of Royal Dux Bohemia Figures, c 1890.

Pair Royal Dux figures – Maiden & Shepherd

A lovely pair in a wonderful Art Nouveau style depicting a maiden with two goats and a shepherd with a dog and sheep, by Royal Dux. The piece is beautifully rendered to the likeness of real figures, with quite fine details and forms. It is beautifully hand painted with earthly washes of brown and green. The pair perhaps romanticizes a depiction of a common folk tale, or a love story between a maiden and a shepherd.

Condition: No chips, cracks or repairs.

Marked: On the bottom, marked with Royal Dux, Bohemia in triangle. Unknown mark on the side, perhaps an artist’s mark (image included)

Measures: 14 inches in height for each figure.
