EDITORS COMMENTS
This print showcases the exquisite "Figure of a Woman Reading" created by Franz Anton Bustelli in Germany around 1765. The piece, belonging to the 18th-century applied arts collection, is housed at the renowned Art Institute of Chicago. Crafted from hard paste porcelain with polychrome enamel decoration, this ceramic figurine exemplifies Bustelli's exceptional skill and attention to detail. The delicate colors and intricate design highlight his mastery in capturing the essence of female likeness during that era. The figure depicts a woman engrossed in her reading, evoking a sense of tranquility and intellectual curiosity. Her posture exudes elegance as she delicately holds an open book in one hand while resting her other hand on her chin, lost deep within its pages. Bustelli's work represents not only German artistry but also contributes to Europe's rich decorative arts heritage. This statuette serves as a testament to his artistic prowess and enduring legacy. As we admire this remarkable object through the lens of photography, it transports us back in time to appreciate the beauty and craftsmanship that flourished during the eighteenth century.
