Small German c. 1940s Photo of Porcelain Figurine Romanian textile Two hooks at bottom

Two hooks at bottom

There is a fair amount of wear to the paint

which are amplifying my desire for a wonderful old wooden desk across the surface of which I'd spread out all manner of vintage desk accessories

clearly with old horizontal fold lines and a few small stains

I just love how he appears to be tip toeing along the horizon line

Small German c. 1940s Photo of Porcelain Figurine Romanian textile Two hooks at bottomI've taken to calling this one "the dying swan, and love it for its great gestural drama inherent to the porcelain figurine that is its subject, but much amplified I think as photographed against a flat black ground. The Agfa Lupex paper on which it was printed identifies it as German c. WW2, placing it in a context that lends much added resonance. 3 11 16" x 2 11 16" and in very good condition.
