Ceramic figure of a shepherd with sheep, Studio Pottery sculpture in the style of Ruth Schmidt-Stockhausen, handcrafted artist's ceramic, 25 cm

Ceramic figure "Shepherd with sheep" in the circle of Ruth Schmidt-Stockhausen

A distinctive, handcrafted ceramic sculpture of a shepherd with a walking stick and sheep. The figure impresses with its expressive design, textured surface, and archaic style reminiscent of German post-war ceramics.

Stylistically, the work is related to the work of Ruth Schmidt-Stockhausen and combines folk motifs with modern ceramic sculpture. Particularly appealing are the deliberately irregular surface treatment, the earthy glaze colors, and the expressive depiction of figures and animals.

An exceptional collector's item for lovers of studio pottery, artist ceramics, folk art and modern figurative sculpture.
