Porcelain figurine titled 'Sensitive Hunter' by Hummel/Goebel

The 'Sensitive Hunter' figurine was created by Hummel/Goebel, based on the artwork of Sister Maria Innocentia Hummel, a German Franciscan nun whose drawings were transformed into figurines starting in the 1930s. This particular piece depicts a young boy in traditional Bavarian attire who has found a rabbit but cannot bring himself to harm it, illustrating the theme of childhood innocence and compassion. Hummel figurines became immensely popular collectibles, particularly in the United States after World War II when American soldiers stationed in Germany brought them home as gifts. These charming porcelain pieces are highly valued by collectors of fine porcelain, nostalgic memorabilia, and those who appreciate their sentimental depictions of childhood. The 'Sensitive Hunter' is especially sought after for its touching narrative and the skillful craftsmanship evident in its detailed modeling.
