In 1934, Franz Goebel was searching for something new. Like his predecessors at the helm of W.Goebel Porzellanfabrik, Franz understood his market. He believed that in a world of political turmoil, customers would respond to a product depicting the gentle innocence of children. The artwork of a Franciscan Sister, Maria Innocentia Hummel, a gifted, academy-trained artist, came to Franz's attention. Her drawings of country children had been printed as art cards and were becoming quite popular. An enthusiastic Franz, with the approval of senior sculptors Arthur Moeller and Reinhold Unger, decided to pursue the creation of figurines based on the artwork of Sister M.I.Hummel. The new product line was launched in March, 1935, at the Leipzig Spring Fair -- a major show for the industry. The reception to the first M.I.Hummel motifs was enthusiastic. The line was an immediate success!
Hand Painted it measures 7 1/2 inches in diameter. Makes a great gift for the avid collector and an addition to any M.I.Hummel-Goebel Collection.
