    Product number 01.930
    Detail Overglaze, hand painted
    Design Ernst Andreas Rauch, 1945
    Height 13 cm

    Although the sculptor Ernst Andreas Rauch, born in Teisendorf in northern Bavaria, was not a “Munich Child Monk”, in 1945 he designed for the Manufactory such a splendid porcelain version of the figure on Munich’s official coat of arms. Enraptured, the child monk, just 13 centimetres tall, takes the oath. He is clutching the Gospel in his left hand. The boy’s reverent yet impish expression and the fluttering folds of his cowl continue the masterly tradition of the Manufactory’s master workshops.
