This Meissen presentation of the Adam and Eve allegory, made somewhere beetween 1860 and 1924, has been spiced up with a few refugees from Noah's ark, or possibly from Edward Hicks' famous painting, the Peaceable Kingdom. In addition to the python-like serpent slithering down the apple tree, 10 animals cluster around the couple's feet -- a lovely white horse, dignified lion, a deer, puppy, several chickens and peacock in full splendor. The apple tree, arching overhead, is laden with fruit, upon which the wayward pair (modestly fig-leafed) are lunching. The piece has been professionally restored, with repairs to foliage, Eve's fingers, the deer's antlers, and a crack on the base. Underside bears Meissen's blue crossed-swords mark, with an incised line below (Robert Rontgen's Book of German marks shows this was used from 1860 to 1924, the incised line indicating it had slight flaws. More photos available to serious inquirers.
