The figurine of the "Fischer mit Netz" by the Manufaktur Meissen that was originally limited to 25 copies features a young fisherman and the moment of his return of home. The conceptualisation of the figurine can be attributed to the artist Hermann Hultzsch (1837-1905) and took place in 1855.
The fisherman is characterised by a calm, almost gentle depiction. His corporeal dynamics is reduced and lets him appear resting - almost pausing. The pastel-coloured "staffage" underlines the composition.
The "Fischer mit Netz" masterfully unites the characteristics of the gracious and gentle expression that are typical of Herrmann Hultzsch's design.
