Affenkapelle Harfenistin, H 12 cm

The hand-painted detail on this little harpist is remarkably fine for such a small figurine—the facial expression actually feels playful. She arrived carefully packaged and sits perfectly next to the other monkey musicians I've been collecting.

The porcelain’s glossy glaze has a lovely, warm sheen that photos don’t fully capture. Her tiny hands are perfectly sculpted, and she sits so sweetly on my bookshelf.

I was a bit worried about the size when it arrived, but at 12 cm she fits perfectly on my shelf. The intricate hand-painting on her tiny harp really stands out, though the base feels a tad lightweight. A lovely little piece for any collector.
