A Wallendorf glazed porcelain figurine depicting a female dancer in a dynamic, wind-swept pose. The figure is captured in mid-movement, wearing a wide-brimmed hat, a short-sleeved ruffled bodice, and a voluminous, flowing skirt with finely ruffled edges. One arm is raised aloft while the other is extended downward, following the billowing lines of the garments. The figurine stands upon a circular white pedestal base accented with a gold-tone effect rim. The clothing and base feature a high-gloss white glaze, contrasted by a matte, bisque-like finish to the skin tones. Hand-painted facial features include blue eyes and red lips, while the shoes are finished in a gold-tone effect glaze. The underside of the base features a green printed mark consisting of a stylized letter W surmounted by a crown, followed by the numbers 1764, above the cursive word Handarbeit. An impressed mark of the letter H and another illegible character are also present on the underside.
