Royal Copenhagen Faun on goat figure no. 737 Christian Thomsen

Faun on goat from Royal Copenhagen is a porcelain figure with a lively and poetic expression, where mythology, nature and classical figurative art meet. The figure shows a young faun sitting on the back of a goat in a dynamic pose, which gives the motif energy and narrative. The taut composition and the fine transitions between human and animal form make it a characterful figure that immediately attracts attention in the interior.

With figure no. 737, Christian Thomsen has created a motif that contains both play, fantasy and the special atmosphere that characterizes many of Royal Copenhagen's classic figures. The faun's upturned face, the prominent ears and the slightly forward-leaning posture give the figure an almost fairy-tale-like presence, while the goat is modeled in motion with lowered head and the horns clearly emphasized. The colors are kept in calm, natural shades with white, green and muted earth tones, which support the figure's harmonious overall impression.

As a porcelain figure in underglaze, it combines decorative value with solid Danish design tradition. It is precisely the type of figure that appeals to collectors of Royal Copenhagen, fauns and classic porcelain figures, but it also works beautifully as a standalone art object on a chest of drawers, in a display cabinet or on a shelf together with other figures in Nordic or romantic style.

Older porcelain figures like this have a special charm, because they bring history, craftsmanship and personality into the home. Choosing a figure with soul and lasting quality is also a way to give good design new life. Faun on goat is therefore an obvious choice for those who are fond of collectible figures, classic porcelain and decorative motifs with a story.
