Rare Porcelain statue designed by Paul Schley in 1912, in the series of figures at lake Wannsee Berlin. Schley sketched several scenes while observing bathers at the Wannsee in Berlin in the summer of 1912, only a couple of years before the outbreak of WW1. Under the manufacture of Koenigliche Porzellan Manufaktur (KPM) these were then modeled into life like high quality porcelain statues, forming a series of bathers, each one a little masterpiece.
