Royal Copenhagen Greenlandic boy figurine no. 12419 or 255

Royal Copenhagen Greenlandic boy is a characterful porcelain figurine in overglaze, modelled by Carl Martin-Hansen. The figurine shows a seated Inuit boy in national costume with a calm, thoughtful expression and a bouquet of flowers resting in front of him. The combination of the light blue upper garment, the warm brownish shades in the costume and the small, colourful flowers gives the figurine a soft and lively expression that immediately catches the eye.

The motif has a particularly present atmosphere. The boy sits low with his legs bent out to the sides, and the simple posture highlights both the fine modelling of the face and the details of the costume. In the pictures, red and decorative details can also be seen at the hands as well as the bouquet with white, pink, purple and light blue flowers, which add play of colour and depth to the figurine. It is precisely the interplay between the calm motif and the careful painting that makes this Royal Copenhagen figurine so interesting for both collectors and those who appreciate classic porcelain figurines with human motifs.

The figurine belongs to the series with folk costumes and national costumes, where Carl Martin-Hansen has created a motif with both cultural-historical reference and decorative strength. As an overglaze figurine, it has a particular richness of colour that suits the motif and emphasises the small details in the costume and the flowers. This makes it suitable as a collector's figurine, but also as a personal feature in the interior, where it can stand in a display cabinet, on a shelf or together with other figurines from Royal Copenhagen.

For collectors of porcelain figurines, folk costume figurines and motifs from Greenland, this is a model that stands out with its quiet expression and finely executed motif. It is a figurine that can be enjoyed for many years and that brings both craftsmanship, history and personality into the home.
