Royal Copenhagen shepherd with dog figurine no. 782

Royal Copenhagen figurine no. 782 depicts a shepherd with dog - also known as a watchboy - and contains the quiet story of life in the countryside, where man and animal follow each other in everyday life. The figurine is modelled with a calm, almost thoughtful posture, where the boy stands bent slightly forward over his staff, while the dog sits close by his side and looks attentively ahead.

The rural motif is finely emphasized by the visible details in the arrangement. The boy is dressed in a cap and a large blue cloak, which falls heavily around the body, and at the feet a green, nature-inspired base with bush and terrain can be seen. The dog is made in white porcelain and forms a beautiful contrast to the cool blue shades in the boy's clothing. The overall impression gives the figurine a classic expression, which is particularly well suited to collectors of Royal Copenhagen figurines, agricultural figurines and porcelain figurines with a motif from Danish farm life.

The figurine is designed by Christian Thomsen for Royal Copenhagen and is made in porcelain with underglaze. This very type of figurine has a special appeal, because it combines a narrative motif, craftsmanship quality and the well-known Danish tradition of figurines with people, animals and scenes from everyday life. The motif with shepherd dog and watchboy also makes it ideal for collectors seeking farmer figurines, shepherd figurines or porcelain figurines with dog.

An older porcelain figurine like this brings both history and personality into the interior. It works beautifully on its own in a display cabinet, on a shelf or as part of a collection with other figurines from farming life and craftsmanship. At the same time, it is a meaningful way to choose quality design with history over new production - a piece of Danish porcelain, created to be appreciated for many years to come.
