This is a gorgeous porcelain figurine made by Karl Ens of a swooping swallow, catching itself on an updraft of wind. The figurine is anatomically correct, but is also expressive; the slight tilt of its head and outstretched wings giving the impression of an animal curiosity. It has a beautiful blue glaze and is wonderfully detailed, even the individual feathers of the wings shown, and even the individual barbs of the individual feathers can be seen. This eye for minutiae is seen even at the base: rather than have the bird be resting on a plain pedestal, it is perched on a curling, blowing gust of air. The swallow figurine was produced in Germany.
