Couple with goat
Carved romantic scene: a couple beneath a tree
This small carved and painted sculpture shows a couple beneath a tree with a goat nibbling at the woman's bouquet. The sculpture - probably from the 1840s - reflects fashions from the end of the Biedermeier period, while it also demonstrates Gröden wood carvers' adopting of motifs from all sales regions and the manufacture of ceramic items.
