Herdersgroep

Date: c. 1760
Medium: glaze, gold (metal), porcelain
Institution: Rijksmuseum

Due to their great success, the figure groups from Meissen were imitated by other porcelain factories. This group was made in Frankenthal (central Germany). The gallant shepherd group has a typically Rococo fanciful background with rocailles (C-shaped scroll ornaments) supported by little columns. The modelling of the figures is somewhat stiffer than that of the group from Meissen.
