Small sculpture of a shepherd couple with goat nibbling a bouquet

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.
