Goebel Hummel Figurine 'Hunter' (Hasenvater / Little Hunter) #6/0

This is a classic hand-painted porcelain figurine from the W. Goebel Porzellanfabrik, featuring a young boy in traditional Bavarian attire interacting with a small orange rabbit. The figure stands on an oval, cream-colored integral base. The boy is depicted wearing a green Tyrolean hat with a feather, a light-colored shirt with yellow polka dots, brown lederhosen with red suspenders, and thick brown boots with orange socks. He carries a toy wooden rifle slung over his shoulder, emphasizing the 'Little Hunter' theme. The craftsmanship is typical of 20th-century Hummel production, characterized by soft, muted earth tones and a matte finish with subtle slip-cast detailing. In terms of condition, the figurine appears to be well-preserved with no immediate signs of chips, missing pieces, or significant factory cracks. There is a light, natural patina consistent with age, particularly visible in the crevices of the boy's clothing and the rabbit's ears. The facial features are delicate, showing the characteristic 'Hummel' rosy cheeks. While the base's underside is not visible to verify the specific trademark (TMK), the style and coloring suggest it originates from the mid-to-late 20th century. The piece exemplifies the sentimental German artistry inspired by the drawings of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel.
