Historical context:
Model 60227 belongs to the famous "Gardener's Children" series, a cornerstone of Meissen's artistic legacy. Originally conceived in the mid-18th century by legendary modelers like J.J. Kändler and M.V. Acier, these figures represented a romanticized "pastoral" style. They were designed to bring the beauty of nature and the charm of rural life into the aristocratic salons of Europe, remaining a symbol of luxury for over two centuries.
