Cockatoo

A striking interior porcelain figurine of a Cockatoo parrot was crafted at the Karl Ens factory, renowned for its animalistic figurines.
Thanks to the elongated, contrastingly painted branch-shaped base that stands out against the bird's coloration, the parrot's figure looks incredibly impressive. The multicolored painting, which captures the natural hues of these magnificent tropical birds, impresses with its richness and depth of shades.

The iridescence of the colors highlights the exquisite detailing of the bird's plumage, creating an illusion of complete realism. The three-dimensional modeling of the feathers is complemented by layered rendering of details. As a result, each feather stands out and plays in the light, naturally shaping the bird's body posture, the curve of its back and wings.
The figurine's artist particularly excelled at capturing the parrot's head with its characteristic powerful beak and its tenacious, strong claws. The parrot figurine is executed almost life-size, brimming with life and dynamism, as if the bird is about to take flight, spreading its mighty wings., age 1920s, mark Karl Ens, size cm h.28.5, material porcelain, condition good preservation, professional restoration of the golden feather.
