Royal Copenhagen girl doing her hair figurine no. 4648

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 4648 depicts a girl sitting on the floor gathering her hair with both hands raised above her head. The motif is calm and concentrated, and the figurine captures an everyday moment with a fine sense of movement and posture. The deep blue top stands beautifully against the white skirt, whose soft folds give the figurine life and rhythm.

John Galster has created a porcelain figurine in which the simple scene takes on an almost poetic expression. The girl's bowed head, the outstretched arms and the relaxed seated position give the figurine a natural presence, which makes it interesting to ??? from several angles. From the front, side and back alike, the modelling is experienced differently, and this emphasizes the quality of the sculptural work.

The figurine is made of porcelain with underglaze, a technique that gives the clear colours and the smooth surface a durable and classic expression. It is precisely the combination of Royal Copenhagen's porcelain craftsmanship and John Galster's assured formal language that makes this girl figurine attractive to collectors of Danish figurines and to those who appreciate decorative applied art with character.

As decoration on a shelf, on a chest of drawers or in a display cabinet, the figurine adds a quiet, human motif to the interior. It goes well together with other child figurines, porcelain figurines or classic Danish design and can also be an obvious gift idea for a collector or for someone who appreciates Royal Copenhagen figurines with a lively motif.
