Translated text: Also known as "Reifenspielerin" (Hoop Thrower). Standing on an octagonal pedestal with her right leg extended, this young woman, with an antique-like appearance, wears a long, delicate green gown with a gold-embellished belt buckle. Her finely drawn, light brown hair is loosely tied back with a large, lilac-colored bow. Holding a staff in her outstretched right hand, she throws a hoop with her left hand. The depiction of her skin tone is naturalistic. The polychrome painting is adorned with gold accents. Possibly created by Reinhold Boeltzig (Böltzig) in 1909. With removable brass staff and hoop. Model number A 235. Restored. Sword mark. Height: 39.5 cm. The sculptor, who was trained at the Berlin Academy between 1896 and 1900, became known at the beginning of the 20th century for a series of Art Nouveau works, including being awarded in 1904 at the World's Fair in St. Louis. The model of the "Reifenwerferin" (Hoop Thrower), also executed in bronze, was purchased in 1909 by the Meissen Porcelain Manufactory. See Jedding, Meissener Porzellan des 19. und 20. Jhs., p. 143.
