Att. Erich Hösel, Cocker spaniel, Meissen, 1924-1934
Description
Hand-painted porcelain, signed.
Dimensions: c. 33x40x18 cm
Attribution: Erich Hösel (1869-1953) studied at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts, where he exhibited his work for the first time in 1887. The “Hun on Horseback”, which the Nationalgalerie acquired from the artist in 1897, ranks among his earliest and at the same time most popular creations, which is attested to both by the many miniatures in bronze and porcelain, and by the reproductions on postcards. In 1903, Hösel became the director of the design department of the Meissner Porcelain Manufactory.
