"Foxy" presents an exquisite porcelain rendering of a fennec fox captured in an alert, attentive pose. The gleaming white ceramic figure showcases the animal's most distinctive features-enormous, dramatically outsized ears that frame its delicately sculpted face with remarkable anatomical accuracy. The sculptor has masterfully captured the creature's characteristic inquisitive expression through subtle modeling of its pointed muzzle and watchful eyes, while the glossy finish enhances the smooth, flowing lines of its compact body and elegantly curled tail.
About Artwork: Foxy
This refined porcelain figure exemplifies the exceptional craftsmanship of Augarten Wien, one of Vienna's most prestigious ceramic manufacturers. Acquired in Vienna, Austria, the piece demonstrates the European tradition of superior porcelain artistry through its flawless glazing and precise anatomical rendering. The pure white coloration, a hallmark of fine Viennese porcelain, allows the sculptural form to speak for itself through light and shadow rather than decorative painting. The artist has skillfully balanced naturalistic observation with a touch of stylized charm, creating a piece that functions as both zoological representation and decorative art. When displayed, this elegant figurine brings sophisticated whimsy to shelves, mantels, or curio cabinets, its pristine surface catching and reflecting light while its engaging form creates an immediate focal point.
