Erich Hösel was a renowned German animal sculptor. He began his studies in 1886 at the Dresden Academy of Fine Arts.
From 1903 until his retirement in 1929, Erich Hösel worked at the Meisse Manufactory, and in 1912 he became head of the design department. Between 1904 and 1918 alone, he created about 100 sculptural models.
His works were always distinguished by a special realism and love for detail. Each figurine is made with particular care and knowledge of the animal's habits, life, and character.
The animal figures are primarily crafted in white porcelain with traditional naturalistic painting.
