Pattern: Vintage Reverse Glass Painted Hummel Girl with Geese, Framed
Made in: Bavaria, Germany
Vintage: 1944
Details: This is a reverse, hand painted glass, modeled after the original Hummel, by master sculptor Arthur Moeller in 1936, and one of the most famous Hummel images, Girl with Geese / Goose Girl. The image shows a girl dressed in an apron and polka dot kerchief hiding something behind her back, while the two geese in front of her are stretching their necks as if they know something good is coming to them, perhaps a treat? The signature "Hummel" (not authentic), is on the bottom left of the painting. On the back side is a glued paper which reads: "Sold by: Elfriede Wohlrath Furstenfeldbruck, Brucker Straße 44". Brucker Straße being located in Bavaria, Germany. Based on research we know there were very few of these made, and sold during the peak of Hummel popularity, 1940's - 1950's. Although this is not official Hummel merchandise, due to their age, being hand painted and their rarity, these are still sought after collectibles.
