Enameled porcelain figurine. “Two young people with swans”. Inspired by models from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres (France). The two swans are placed at a lower level than the two young women, and are separated from them by a trunk with flowers. The idealisation of the scene is reminiscent of 18th-century European porcelain models, and the colours and composition are what relate the work to creations from the Manufacture Nationale de Sèvres. It is worth highlighting the high quality of the figure, which can be seen in details such as the perfection of the modelling and the magnificent enamelling.
