Gerhard Henning (1880-1967), 'Fairy Tale I', Royal Copenhagen, Denmark, dated 10-12-1948, designed in 1913. Gerhard Henning was a Swedish-Danish sculptor. While working at the Royal Danish Porcelain Factory, he designed a number of delicately decorated figurines. He is however remembered above all for his statues celebrating the female form. With his appreciation of the curvature and tension of the female form, Henning is one of the most important contributors to the female figure in Danish sculpture. -H. 23 cm, mint condition-
