Rare Rosenthal Porcelain Group
'DIANA' by Gerhard Schliepstein, c.1935
a superbly crafted highly stylized blanc de chine porcelain group of Diana, the huntress and her greyhound considered to be one of the best examples of Rosenthal's Art Deco output. This modern interpretation of the well-known classical subject is a work of famous Gerhard Schliepstein who designed the group in 1933-34.
Background information: Gerhard Schliepstein (1886-1963) was one of the most highly regarded German sculptors of the first half of the twentieth century. He created a great number of models for Rosenthal and K.P.M, some of his porcelain models were also cast in bronze. His work is instantly recognizable for its stylization and he is considered as a true Modernist of the Art Deco period.
